MODERATORS
Not from Canada but this sent me down a rabbit hole, So the Ontario government sold a monopoly on beer sales to a company and ford backed out early and now the government has to pay 200 million in damages to the company instead of letting the contract expire in a year?
Doug Ford has a history of wasting taxpayers' money and helping his buddies line their pockets with extra cash. He's currently under investigation since he got caught selling protected land to his buddies and then rezoning it for housing afterwards, allowing the value to spike up by billions. And that's just criticizing his corruption. He's not a good person either. He got caught selling crack to high schoolers.
Doug Ford, aka Drug Fraud
Why is he still in office instead of in prison?
His family is rich so they got to bail him out when he did stupid stuff like selling drugs.
I'm sorry, he did what?
The whole family has a history of drugs, so it's not surprising to anyone in the GTA. His brother was the mayor of Toronto, and there was a big scandal surrounding it at one point. He ended up dying, and Doug has had a grudge against the Toronto city council. One of his first acts when he became premier was to slash the city council by like half.
