Doug Ford campaigned on “stopping the gravy train”. Today he’s driving it.
What we’d once consider a scandal is now just another day in Doug Ford’s Ontario.
A $16 orange juice once ended a political career. Today, government shrugs off allegations of a billion-dollar slush fund — the result of a decade of far-right impunity.

I am so tired of hearing how Carney constantly kissing up and capitulating to Trump is smart. It isn't, Trump likes it, but he sure as fuck doesn't respect it. It is getting us nowhere.
Notice Mamdani charmed Trump on live TV without backing down on any stances. He didn't water himself down, he didn't even take back calling Trump a fascist. Moderates would say butter him up, or try to appear more right-wing. Voters can see through that—and evidently so does he!
