Ford made it his personal mission to tackle the virus and seemed to abandon partisan politics
It didn’t matter that Crombie was once a Liberal MP in the area. The pandemic-times Doug Ford has no problem with Liberals. Senior party officials who know Ford best say he threw partisanship out the door when the scale of the public health emergency became clear. People who got things done, from CEOs to old Ottawa foes, became instant allies as he started making calls in March, making his cellphone a mobile command centre, typically late into the night.
The same day he was in Mississauga on an early leg of an eight-week summertime tour of his province, Ford’s Progressive Conservatives paused the legislative session until the fall. At a press conference the next day, Ford was asked how legislators could hold the government to account during an extended break when the pandemic’s trajectory was still so unpredictable. The premier’s response was classic Ford: “Every MPP has my number. They can call me.
A couple of hours before Ford was meant to meet with Justin Trudeau, the meeting was abruptly cancelled and the premier’s team was on a flight back to Toronto. The next day, Canadians learned that Trudeau was in self-isolation after his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, tested positive for COVID-19. “They just spent the last summer bashing us and running a campaign against us, and smearing our government any chance they got,” went the thinking. Why leave that water under the bridge?
He’s still there, opening casinos while the second wave hits!
The pandemic certainly hasn't changed Trudeau. I am looking forward to your article.
Trudeau bought him out
I didn't know you wrote science fiction.
Believe me, if you had to sit around 'The Health Table' everyday, you'd act strange after a while too.
Honestly Doug Ford is still royally screwing Autistic Kids & their families He just told struggling disabled Ontarians to Get a Job Just wait to see how badly he is going to screw up Back to School Unless Justin Trudeau is paying our ALL TALK NO ACTION Premier does Fuck all!
Nope. He's learned to say pretty words but his actions never match them, quite the opposite.
he has not changed one bit. why are you pretending differently?
You have got to be kidding? Buck a beer. Slash autism funding. Slash Ed to the bone. Privatize health care. Tear down wind turbines. Cancel cap trade. Throw Bs$ out the window. Cronyism. Destroy environmental protections. Sell Ontario to lowest bidder. Go fug yourself
Interesting. I have been thinking that he is doing really well in this crisis. But I’m not from Ont. so not sure on what he is really like.
So let me get this straight. Ford fixed the pandemic by getting on the phone with people. I can only assume he got on the phone to tell you this. Perhaps he can get on the phone and address everyone's concerns over school openings...
The new Doug Ford is the old Doug Ford. He didn't change in the least. He just took credit for the work of the Federal government and idiots bought it. VoteFordOut2022
Doug caves to medical martial law and virus hysteria. Sad Doug caves - robbing people of freedom and the right to worship as he supported multinational corps and murdered small business.
Really? Don't be fooled! Look at his approach to back-to-school for September!
His lip service then inaction on LTC, his empty talk about caring for students and yet refuses to invest the necessary funds to keep them safe. He's changed? No he hasn't.
He’ll be back. He’s being credited with unexpectedly doing the right things. But like always he will want someone else the pay for his spending. First it was his father. Then it was the province. Now it will be the feds. He has never taken responsibility for his actions.
Leave the jokes to The Beaverton.
imagine being this credulous
He’s hiding behind his mask
Hope this rag goes bankrupt too.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL you are so ridiculous!
You mean the guy who just shoved through an omnibus bill?
He is still there. Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Seriously? Get stuffed with Lays.
Yeah, no. (The article isn't any better than the tweet.)
who are you trying to fool?
nope - he hasn't changed based on the very latest antics
Wow! As Bugs Bunny says, “what a gullabull, what a nin cow poop” 🙄. fordnation is a grifter who has disappeared funds for frontline workers & stripped rights under pandemic cover. Wait until the school mess. onpoli SafeSeptember DougFraud fordfailsfamilies
talks different, acts the same you poor naive fool
Hey, Macleans! Dougie is sure fooling you. I thought you were more sophisticated than that. Just keep an eye on the schools. You will see!
Someone stepped on Doug Ford and it’s bad and Ford has stopped
Neoliberal ideology falls apart when individuals cant solve problems in isolation. Yes, communities, society and groups matter when it comes to a pandemic! , and most social policy it turns out. If we want healthy societies, and I do, we need new leaders.
This pandemic and recession has shown many flaws in private healthcare, Conservatives. Eh.
