Isn't it funny how having an affair can ruin some politicians' careers, but not others? @JohnTory

Fun Fact: Doug Ford's photo op today was at the same gas station where his then-mayor brother Rob traded manilla envelopes of ? with Sandro Lisi while under police surveillance. #optics #fordnation https://t.co/Y9ce57ryLx

@fordnation Fun fact - this is the same gas station where then-mayor Rob Ford used to trade unmarked manilla envelopes with Sandro Lisi (and was also caught by police surveillance cameras urinating on the trees) #fordnation https://t.co/Y9ce57s6B5

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

So it turns out Doug Ford actually *is* uniting the country... just not quite the way he was hoping. @fordnation @EKOSResearch @CPC_HQ

To understand @fordnation you need to think like a Ford. Time will show that this Toronto election "crisis" was orchestrated by Diane to set @MichaelFordTO up for a 2022 mayoral run #TOpoli #onpoli

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

Visible minorities in Doug Ford’s new cabinet are outnumbered by people named Lisa @fordnation #onpoli

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

Premier Ford has still not explained how he will avoid conflict of interest by placing his financially troubled family business in a blind trust, nor how his Chicago business ties will impact the Trump trade war @fordnation #ONPoli

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

Fun fact: The new Ontario cabinet includes the highest number of mid-level drug dealers in the province’s history.

A major beneficiary of TAVIS' reinstatement is Toronto Police Sup't Ron Taverner, a "family friend" of Doug Ford's who has helped keep the Ford clan out of trouble for decades #JustACoincidence @fordnation #onpoli https://t.co/ea6iYd0uM4

Required reading for anyone who says “Just give Doug Ford a chance”. When you don’t understand your job, all the answers seem simple. @fordnation #onpoli https://t.co/ETkpgeArRF

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

Getting cc’d on a *lot* of emails from window & door suppliers angry with Doug Ford’s cancellation of #GreenON, including @OntarioPCParty supporters who somehow didn’t think the program was at risk. Big complaint is timing and lack of notice. Welcome to the new normal! #onpoli

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

This piece glosses over teeny detail that #onpoli "ballot questions" like hydro prices, gov waste, sanctuary cities and Wynne's supposed corruption were seeded well in advance by 3rd party groups like Ontario Proud & none custom built for @fordnation https://t.co/DNTB8uuqh3

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

Do you ever look at a deeply-complex social problem with a multitude of contributing factors and think "I bet Doug Ford is the best person to fix it"? @fordnation #onpoli https://t.co/7qSDxzH0EJ

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

The #2026WorldCup will be Doug Ford’s first big test at avoiding pork barrel politics and unethical behaviour. Get ready for a monumental shit show. @fordnation #onpoli

Based on what I know of Doug Ford, here's what I think we can expect from our new premier – in 10 tweets. #TOpoli #ONpoli https://t.co/8VlvGF7A9a

Edit: yes, since this was posted the Libs have dropped to 7 seats and out of official party status. Point still applies.

[FactCheckingDougFord @DougFordFacts]

Don’t forget that the @OntarioPCParty won despite Doug Ford, not because of him. 20 PC candidates won’t be going to Queen’s Park and the Liberals held onto official party status because @fordnation cost the party votes. Most importantly, lots of MPPs don’t owe Doug anything.
