Nothing screams “small government” like provincial overreach into municipal politics, amirite

So we're basically back to year one Ford who tore down wind turbines at taxpayer expense because they annoyed him.

This is insanity

Ford yet again seems to be the center of some questionable decisions that favour big corporations as opposed to the people of Ontario.

Some items include:

Trying to change zoning on protected green belt land to allow developers to build single family home subdivisions. The land was purchased by developers in anticipation to the change in zoning.

Releasing a liquor map to help individuals find alcohol, while a liquor stike was happening (somewhat a slap in the face for union workers TBH). This coincided with his push to get liquor into convince stores and corner stores while at the same time breaking a contract that would have expired in two years costing tax payers millions.

Killing a proposed recycling programs that would benefit the people of Ontario by making stores responsible to accept back recyclable materials. This program was ment to shift the cost of recycling from tax payers to corporations and business in a effort to push them to limit the amount of packaging used for products. The program was to function very similar to the Ontario Beer Store that takes back cans and glass bottles. (Unfortunately the future of the beer store recycling program is also up in the air)

Potential covering up of the completion schedule for new transite lines that were scheduled to be completed 2020.

The sudden shutdown of the Ontario Science Center due to a structural report stating a small section of roof might collapse within one of the buildings. The report presented no immediate danger but press conferences and Ford himself called the building a death trap. Many schools roofs in Ontario were built in the same way and are nearing end of life, no action or plan has been put forward.

The Ontario Place being leased and redeveloped into a luxury spa. This also coincided with the Ontario Science Center being moved to Ontario Place. The reasoning for this is that the Ford Government is contractually obligated to build a mega parking garage for the luxury spa. To justify the building of the garage it is to be shared between the new location for the Ontario Science Center and the Spa.

We can't afford to build rail but we can afford to pointlessly rip out bike lanes and still not fix traffic.

Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says

Where are all the fucking journalists and pundits screaming "Who is going to pay for that?" at this?

I love the smell of polite corruption in the morning!
