Sorry, Ontario is big, but it’s not private jet for Doug ford big.

Ride the fucking greyhound you fat fuck I want my taxes back. They’re for helping people, not making Dougie feel less embarrassed he needs to buy two bus seats.

He never leaves the T. Unless he is heading to his cottage.

Yeah, exactly.

He doesn’t visit Ottawa, and he’s not getting that jet to northern Ontario.

I mean, he could land in Bracebridge or something to shorten his drive to Huntsville.

But that’s not really northern Ontario proper.

Go on, vote for this prick again. I'm sure he'll do something useful for the people with it.

@atro_city @CowsLookLikeMaps

Ohhhhhh, so THIS is why he wants to fly jets out of Toronto Island airport. (and extend the runway to do so)

That sanctimonious sack of corrupt shit.

Yeah, go vote for this asshole again, #ontario.

And eliminate bike lanes so he can drive there faster.

"New bill to remove taxes from private jet sales for ontario citizens. Also lets private jets land on parklands, paved bike trails, or any other suitable landing area that won't impede car traffic"

@FireRetardant @Lemmyoutofhere oh well that rules out using the 413 as a landing strip.

Once every highway has a tunnel, surface roads will be opened for jet landings

Jokes on him, he'll cause traffic to be worse.

It all makes sense now.

Alternate headline: "Doug Ford buys private jet with Ontario's money".

We couldn't have UBI but he can have a fucking jet? Wtf

The mentality there is still american values. Yachts and private jets are so passe. Fixing the world and ushering a fair and balanced peace is where most of the regular folk are mentally at nowadays. They just want to live their lives the best they can, not be under constant bombardment from the greedsters and power cabals. In a world of too many cellphones and facetimes do you really need to fly wherever?!
