Underfunding education, healthcare, housing...

Overfunding his buddies, the alcohol industry, and a horrific war on cyclists.

Vote this fool out while we still can.

At least I got my “we’re could have funded things” cheque

Edit: technically I didn’t even get mine, my wife got her though. Not sure where mine is.

This article seems to concentrate on primary and secondary education, but Ontario is also the province with the lowest funding for post-secondary education in Canada. The Ford government provides about $8,000/student, less than half of the Canadian average. The next lowest province is Nova Scotia, which pays over $13,000/student.

And yet somehow he wants to pay $100 billion for a tunnel under the 401.

He’s doing what he can to increase his vote share.
