Ontarian’s are getting tired of Didn’t Know Doug™
- Didn’t know about the $8B Greenbelt deal run out of his own office.
- Didn’t know about the cash-for-access abuses of the $3B Skills Development Fund that went to many donors and friends of the PCs.
- Didn’t know about the luxury expenses his MPPs were putting on taxpayers.
- Didn’t know why the cost of building infrastructure quadrupled in 10 years.
- Didn’t know his party sent a hack to spy on his political opponent on vacation.
The buck never stops with Ford. But hey, at least he’s folksy folks!
The P3 contract to build the 3-km Pape stretch of the Ontario Line comes in at a whopping $1.4 billion per km. The per-km cost of subway construction has more than quadrupled under the Ford government https://t.co/RhBnQvQc3Q #onpoli
Global News has learned Craig Munro, convicted killer of Toronto police Constable Michael Sweet has been arrested in Victoria @TorontoPolice@globalnewsto https://t.co/ijCx6BiVFI https://t.co/HiH4rgHX5a
"To say Olivia Chow dropped the ball would be an understatement. It’s unlikely that she was shocked by the announcement since the city’s own lobbyist registry shows her staff was vigorously lobbied by Nieuport in the days and months leading up to it." https://t.co/u4dUqu6sIK
Following Ford's gravy train—the trail of corruption:
Ford's Labour Minister David Piccini gives $345M taxpayer dollars to Conservative donors via the Skills Development Slush Fund.
Conservative donors give money to Piccini's Riding Association.
Piccini uses riding association donations to splurge on high-end hotels and restaurants—including a restaurant and golf course in Florida.

Donations to David Piccini’s riding association nearly doubled after he was put in charge of spending the Skills Development Fund. The RA spent $40,000 in “meetings” that included sushi-rolling classes and expenses related to a Florida golf course https://t.co/nOh2x5IToL #onpoli
I don’t post here much. But I’ll roll this grenade down the aisle: 2am testing is one of the very effective ways to prevent peptide(EPO,hGH) and testosterone micro dosing. If UCI had tested us in 2001 at 2am? We’d all have been suspended and saved the sport 25 years of drama.
#BREAKING - NDP leader Stiles has filed a complaint with the Office of the Integrity Commissioner, calling for an investigation into the Hardeep Grewal, PC MPP for Brampton East, “For potentially using tax dollars to enrich a business owned by an immediate family member”
BREAKING: A Progressive Conservative MPP is being accused of using public funds to “further the private interests” of his own family, just days after the revelation that he billed taxpayers thousands to stay in downtown Toronto hotel rooms.

Ford's Minister, Stan Cho, billed his riding association:
▶️ $100,000 for restaurants
▶️ $13,000 for sports tickets
▶️ $7,000 for one Jay's game
▶️ $1500 for a limo
&
▶️ $12,700 for hotels (what's with this guy & hotels?)
Note: His riding association gets money from Conservative donors & taxpayer subsidies.

@brianlilley You're such an asshat. Canada is one of the host nations. Of course he should attend the final.
How dumb and bitter can you actually be, Brian?
NEW: It's not just Stan Cho.
Toronto-area PC MPPs have billed taxpayers over $100k for overnight stays in Toronto.
The premier's office says expenses that "did not meet the spirit of the rules will be reimbursed."
