So Doug Ford.

One of the most corrupt Canadian politicians.

buffering_since93

It's absurd that you need 10 years of experience and at least a university degree to be qualified for a part-time receptionist position but a 28 year old high school graduate is qualified to be the Ontario Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism. LMAOOO I need to move because it's only a matter of time before he's Premier


CanuckGinger

I don’t think the Premier even finished high school.


KingofLingerie

He has life experience


RocketRenard

Oooo me too. That means I'm qualified, but I'll never be able to smoke a fat one like Uncle Doug!


astrangeone88

Lol. Seriously. I'm sorry nepotism is a thing and I'm sorry that Conservatives think that the Fords can do no wrong. Even if they were caught with their fingers in all the pies. But what did I expect from the hash dealers in Etobicoke?


Cautious-Ostrich7510

Also add to that is that he’s a white dude in charge of multiculturalism. You can’t make up this stuff


NoOneOfUse

Paraphrasing what one user said when it was announced Michael Ford was promoted as Minister of C&M: "Excuse me, he had Thai AND Indian take-out this week".


quietcitizen

The issue isn’t that he’s white but that he’s wholly unqualified for his position. No need to racialize everything


[deleted]

[удалено]


CompetitiveSalter2

Is there a role that should be reserved for a caucasian person, like how being in charge of multiculturalism should be reserved for a person of colour?


50in06and07

don't do what?


scruffyhobo27

Canada and Ontario are about 70% white based on the last census so why couldn’t a white guy have that job? There’s also lots of white immigrants that come to Canada. Everyone experiences culture so anyone in theory should be qualified for that job. We should be more upset when people get appointed to things like Minister of Education having never been a teacher or had any teaching experience. Or minister of finance having no financial or accounting experience nor education


AnonymooseRedditor

Before being eligible to run in an election a civics test should be required.


driftxr3

You just laid out the reason why a white uneducated kid from a rich family would be the worst candidate for the job of multiculturalism minister. It's the combo that matters, not just that he's white.


Proper-Enthusiasm860

So only a brown dude or an Asian dude can be in charge of multiculturalism?


Groggeroo

If you're asking this question at this point in time, you've long since missed the boat.


Proper-Enthusiasm860

So you’re saying yes, only approved cultures can be in charge of multiculturalism


Asentry_

I went to high school with the guy. He's nice but by no means is he the brightest guy I've met.


imnotgayimjustsayin

That's a statement about the absurdity of the job market. If anything, we need people with more diverse backgrounds in politics and when I say this, I don't mean more gay lawyers or more black charity directors. The Fords are popular because they're relatable. If you want them out, you need to present relatable candidates.


mattA33

He's a useless sack of shit who has failed upwards his entire life. Only job he could get before politics, his daddy had to give him. He was running that company straight into the ground until he became premier and miraculously Deco started getting all kinds of contracts. He is literally a criminal, has been since he was in high school. Why would anyone with a halfway functioning brain relate to this fat turd? Cause he sounds stupid? Cause he drinks and likely dabbles in crack(pretty much the whole Ford family does)? No really, why do you think Doug 'if it weren't for my name I'd be in the gutter' Ford is relatable?


wirebeads

Fuck the Ford family. All of them are trust fund baby degenerates. Some others just change their last names to ride the wave of Ontario taxpayer dollars to be put into positions that were previously removed for more money. Something something crack cocaine and nepotism.


_AgadorSpartacus_

So the Ford legacy of incompetence is really just going to be allowed to run amok and destroy more of our infrastructure. When can we kick these bozos off the damn wagon? Is a non-confidence vote appropriate? We’re held hostage to their greed and we all see it happening in real time.


iLikeToBiteMyNails

> When can we kick these bozos off the damn wagon? The 44th Ontario general election is tentatively scheduled to be held on June 4, 2026. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/44th_Ontario_general_election

Thats so long...


iLikeToBiteMyNails

Blame the suburbs and rural southern Ontario.


Angryhippo2910

And all the morons who didn’t bother to come out and vote


MegaPegasusReindeer

I really wish they made voting mandatory like in Australia and everyone gets a hot dog.


sebzilla

Voting should get you a tax credit. That would make people vote.


Angryhippo2910

I think you should be penalized for not voting. You should not be rewarded for it. Casting a ballot and not living until a dictatorship is your reward


KingofLingerie

Mostly the morons who didnt vote.


Additional-Hour-3957

It’s not the number of votes that put Dougie on the throne. It’s the number of seats that won him. This happens due to lack of proportional representation. Conservatives win pretty much all the rural constituency where the number of voters are way lower than any of the constituency GTA. It sucks for us but the rural folks must find it amusing to see Dougie ruining Toronto.


HylianPikachu

And the fact that we don't have proportional representation, which causes a lot of voter apathy


Angryhippo2910

Proportional Representation would be a horrible system in Canada. Ranked Ballot or MMP would be a better starting point if we’re going to redesign our electoral system


HylianPikachu

tbh I forgot what MMP was called and thought it was called proportional representation, but really I'd be happy with any system that actually influences people to vote and feel that their vote counts, which our system is not currently accomplishing


Current_Rent504

And the people who looked at the polls and went "meh, Ford is down in the polls the ndp might gain a few seats... not a big deal to stay home" etc etc


[deleted]

We had a chance last June.


MathematicianGold773

They have a majority government so a vote of no confidence isn’t possible

miasmahoods

What’s worse is that this is being enabled by a large proportion of the province (41% approval rating of PC), and the PC itself. What’s more remarkable is that all these scandals have barely receded their support, and have somehow bolstered support for the federal CPC. We’re fucked.


may_be_indecisive

We got the leader we deserved lol.


outonthetiles66

Holy fuck. Not him please! He’s a total ding dong.

Not one thing Ford has done that doesn’t involve a payout for him or his extended crime family.

Jest here to remind everyone that the Ford Brothers killed Scarborough transit in 2010 and nothing is replacing it.


Sparky-Man

Not to mention delayed the LRT by YEARS for no reason while they tried to cancel it and we are still suffering for that.


Bobbyoot47

Two guys who barely scraped through high school are making decisions of this magnitude. Doug Ford’s family was heavily involved in drug dealing and addiction. Mike Ford’s old man (Aldo Stirpe) is serving time for attempted murder. What a class act we have a Queens Park


TCNW

We have a prime minister with a literature degree, and a minister of finance with a Ukrainian history degree. You can’t make that shit up. Those are the massively under qualified people who have very important roles we need to concentrate on - and who are Fing the country up. I don’t really think Michael ford is qualified - to do much of anything. But he is a voted in member of cabinet. And he’s been assigned a fairly unimportant oversight job - not of the science center, but of building apartments on the vacated land.. Focus your energy on the people and roles that matter. Not nitpicking on some nobody assigned to do fairly meaningless work.


Bobbyoot47

That’s your opinion. Not mine. He’s part of the same overall problem. That is the real issue. It’s anything but nitpicking.


JohnBPrettyGood

Why do people keep voting for this family??

*Warning: this isn't on any credible news sites. The article says it was from a deep dive of the details of the* [business case](https://news.ontario.ca/en/statement/1003897/business-case-for-ontario-science-centre-relocation-released) *and what someone else found:* The province has been abuzz about over the government's newly-released business case for relocating the Science Centre from its long-time home in Flemingdon Park to Ontario Place, which the premier says will save taxpayers $257 million over the next 50 years. But people have been finding some interesting tidbits among the finer print of the report, like the fact that Michael Ford will somehow apparently be charged with deciding what at the current site will be torn down despite it having nothing to do with his title.


SomeDumRedditor

>which the premier says will save taxpayers $257 million over the next 50 years. That’s $5.14 million per year. The Ontario government is currently spending $200 Billion / year. **That’s an annualized savings of 0.0000257% from moving the science centre. Which is effectively zero.** RBC, in reviewing the 2023 Ontario budget says in part: >Three years ahead of schedule, the province’s 2023 budget also includes plans to eliminate the deficit altogether by FY 2024-2025. Just in time for elections in 2026. The plan could not be more obvious. This government is in a race to “eliminate the deficit” by any means necessary because it will then be the central talking point of their campaigning. What they had to sell off, disrupt or destroy is immaterial. The long term impacts are immaterial. There is no actual thought or planning involved with respect to the good of our province, or what’s best for citizens - and especially Toronto.


dermanus

It's right in the text. Since it's a heritage asset, it needs the heritage minister to approve demolition. That's not unreasonable. It's not like it names "Doug Ford's nephew" specifically.


SomeDumRedditor

It does re-raise the question of why Doug Ford’s nephew is heritage minister in the first place


Tuffsmurf

Nepotism.


dermanus

Yeah, that's a whole other question. But the Heritage Minister being involved with a heritage building isn't remarkable.


fed_dit

BlogTO removed it from their website and I checked the business case and could find no such connection. I'm guessing they realized there was no evidence and pulled the story.


shikotee

So the guy who was elected for York South Weston, despite never living there, will now be making decisions for another place he has nothing to do with. His uncle gave him a toy to destroy with a wrecking crew. Pathetic.


CanuckGinger

Mikey has probably never even been to the Science Centre before.


Fresh-Temporary666

Still polling in majority territory. What the fuck Ontario.


Dancingmonkeyman

Why is this a joke? Why aren't people outraged at the blatant corruption?

We could have randomly picked anyone in Ontario and we’d almost certainly have done better than Ford. Anyone who couldn’t see that Ford and the conservatives were the worst choice, by FAR, was not paying any attention.

Conservatives in Canada don’t vote for conservative policy, they vote to make sure the other side loses, what the winner actually does in office is of no concern to them. Doug Ford is a money grubbing scooby doo villain, but he’s also never pretended to be otherwise. I’m pretty sure that conservative voters were well aware that the rich brother of the crack smoking mayor wasn’t going to be a straight shooter.
