Doug Ford is the ultimate example of how voters care more about image than facts. He’s obviously a corrupt and venal grifter but he goes on CTV News and says “folks, I’m fighting for you!” and the public says “he seems nice” because they want some father-figure. It’s maddening.
Doug Ford's corruption has always been out there in the open. We in Ontario are even stupid enough to pay for his legal expenses over his corruption via our tax dollars. I can never understand why we can't get our 💩 together and vote him out. Healthcare and education are both wrecked now.

Alberta will allow trophy hunters to shoot elk and deer on fenced-in farms.
The gov says it “creates an opportunity for deer and elk producers to provide a unique experience."
Sure. Just drive up in your truck and roll your window down.
