Some people believe Doug Ford winning another majority is a foregone conclusion but I prefer to hope this election results in a Ford gone conclusion.

This is harsher than I usually like to be, but Ford’s more dangerous for Ontario than ever before. Like, MAGA dangerous.

Ford didn’t have a “mandate” to announce his US booze ban, so why is he saying the election is to give him one? His translucent excuse offers us a way to look back on his six years of doing dubious things without a “mandate”.

By framing his election call in terms of needing a mandate, Premier Doug Ford invites us to look back on all that he’s done to the city without such a mandate.

In October 2023, a right-wing government swept to power in New Zealand on a wave of populist anger similar to Canada’s.
The results so far? Government debt forecast to rise. The deficit got worse. Unemployment is increasing. Craig Renney writes.
