The Progressive Conservative party is standing by Scarborough Centre candidate David Smith who was found guilty of violating the Municipal Elections Act in a 2014 school board election and has criticized Doug Ford’s education policies.

“Dave Smith paid the fine, corrected the administrative error, and since then has been re-elected by the people of Scarborough to serve as trustee,” PC campaign spokesperson Christina Wramhed said in an email. In a subsequent email, Wramhed also said Smith was “proud” to be running for the PCs.

“This is extremely disappointing to hear and only further proves that Doug Ford has questionable judgment and will let just about anyone run for him under the Conservative banner. We have rejected candidates for similar Municipal Elections Act violations and Mr. Smith would not be permitted to stand as a Liberal candidate given his ethical breaches,” said Liberal spokesperson Andrea Ernesaks.

“Mr. Smith will have to answer for why he now wants to join the Conservatives after they slashed $800 million from our kids’ classrooms, just like the Conservatives will have to answer for why they apparently agreed to look the other way on Mr. Smith’s censure for running afoul of expense rules as a school board trustee,” the NDP spokesperson wrote via email.

In a meeting ahead of the vote, trustee Pamela Gough called the situation “a humiliation to the whole board.”

Opinion: Uber gets almost everything it wants in Doug Ford’s Working For Workers ActFrom the summer of 2021 up until Bill 88 was passed, Uber lobbyists met repeatedly with provincial policy makers in an effort to obtain a legislative guarantee that its drivers and delivery couriers would not be redefined as employees Kind of like how WSIB banks billions off of pain & suffering. Could be helping Doug's economy rather than deeming disabled injured workers into taxpayers poverty problems. I know a guy in Toronto, drives in North York for Uber Eats. One He makes $10 per hour on average, i.e. after gas, before wear and tear, and maintenance, and after he gets continuous orders, no down time. Two After 10 pm, drive through restaurants do not allow washroom use.
