Appointing Regional Chairs is an affront to democracy. WR residents value transparency & accountability from their public servants. Newly-appointed @RegionWaterloo Chair Scott Davey could instill trust & goodwill by pledging never to use undemocratic Strong Chair powers. #onpoli

There’s literally no one at the wheel right now in this province.
Two years after Premier Doug Ford vowed an audit of Ontario’s child welfare sector, the results remain secret thestar.com/news/investigati…

Doug Ford likes to remind Ontarians that democracy is optional when he’s calling the shots.
Ford hand-picked regional chairs with sweeping new powers. 🤔
Apparently, conflicts of interest are just another feature of Ford’s political playbook.

When @fordnation allowed online gambling 2022, his govt. vowed to force firms to share anonymized player data with researchers to help curb problem gambling. 4.5 yrs later, no data has been shared -- because it wasn't even collected. thestar.com/news/investigati…

Prime Minister @MarkJCarney isn't just gutting and quashing Canada's federal environmental laws, he is trying to get the federal government out of protecting Canadians' environment altogether.
Carney, personally it seems, doesn't want any responsibility to protect Canadians from environmental degradation and destruction by Canada's and the world's worst corporate actors.
“For anyone who’s still wondering whether Prime Minister Carney is playing some kind of 3D chess around environmental protection and moving the pieces just right, I think this (the decision not to appeal ) is a pretty clear indication that they’re more interested in walking away from environmental protection as much as they can,” said Charlie Hatt, the program director for climate at Ecojustice.
Shout out to the ever-indefatigable @althiaraj for keeping Canadians aware of Carney's worst.

Yes, Doug Ford is very much cut from the same cloth, or at least pattern, as Donald Trump. In the case of law-abiding people, the law acts as a backstop to poor decisions. In the case of people like Ford & Trump they are fixated on manipulating or ignoring laws for personal gain.

Doug Ford's undemocratic appointment of "strong chairs" is affront to democracy. He is handing over an unprecedented power to hand-selected individuals.
Regional chairs should be elected by the people they represent not appointed by the provincial government. 1/2
NEW: Doug Ford government appoints 8 new regional chairs. Here is the full list cp24.com/politics/queens-par…

NONE of these people are elected to these positions because the point is to bypass democracy
They're turning the government of Ontario into a criminal enterprise
I need to start hearing opposition parties talk about how we're going to prosecute Doug Ford after he leaves office

Shit like this and Ford legislating away the power to look at his cell phone records is authoritarian banana republic shit that might even make Donald Trump blush, FFS.
Ontarians, you’re not angry enough.

Personally, I'm of the belief that there is nothing funny about N@zi salutes nor is it an appropriate way to "poke fun at" someone.
@fordnation rewards these kinds of behaviours.

"The Ford government can't allow these tech companies to operate in our communities with impunity. We need strict environmental safeguards, and for companies like Related Digital to act responsibly. The Ministry needs to release the testing results." Catherine Fife, MPP #onpoli

As intended.
Part of the bust out.
Ontario is about half a trillion in debt, and every school board, hospital and post-secondary institution in the province (barring a few specials, for money laundering 😘) is insolvent.

Doug Ford staged municipal elections across the province on a false premise, and then did what Mussolini did in Fascist Italy. He has imposed authoritarian appointees over municipal regions, whom control which laws the elected municipal governments are allowed to pass.
NEW - The Ford government appoints regional chairs who will have 'strong chair' powers. Includes current Vaughan Mayor Steven Del Duca. Opposition leaders have called the move undemocratic.
Kevin Ashe, Durham Regional Chair
Ann Mulvale, Halton Regional Chair
Frank Campion, Niagara Regional Chair
Nando Iannicca, Peel Regional Chair
Scott Davey, Waterloo Regional Chair
Steven Del Duca, York Regional Chair
Scott Aitchison, Muskoka District Chair
Don McIsaac, Simcoe County Chair
