Why is he wasting so much of OUR MONEY to push products that are cancer-causing, ruin lives, and enable our most vulnerabel to sink themselves into a deeper hole?

It's disturbing that his priorities all focus on causing harm to as many people as possible.

Ford cares about things he can see

That’s his buddies, Toronto traffic, and the selection of alcohol at restaurants and the gas station.

He needs to ramp up health issues before privatizing healthcare. Next we'll see doctors recommending their favourite cigarettes again.

He's just trying to improve the 80K homeless people's lives. Sitting under the QEW at -20°C with a mickey is a tangible improvement.

Ford really needs to get Ontario drunk for how hard he's about to fuck it.

What a scuzzy cunt he is.

I always wonder when exactly ON is ever going to get sick and tired of that asshole.
