“In Ford’s Ontario, if you can’t comply with an environmental law, just legislate it away.” #onpoli
"Ford knew last Feb what we know now — that ON’s economy is tanking. Which is why he triggered an election some 15 mths early, knowing that he was better positioned to win another majority mandate guaranteeing him 4 more yrs in power."
