    Watch out for the Ford and Houston dog and pony show. They are no better then Pollievre. Just maybe a bit more subtle.

    We all know about Dougie but Houston is his own brand of special as well. He recently introduced legislation in NS that would give hiring and firing authority for the auditor generals office to the sitting government.

    That is one, if not the highest checks within our provincial government system. Very fascist of him. He dropped it when the people revolted immediately but even trying should be a sign of future possibilities.

    I’m gonna love seeing PP lose tomorrow, maybe even his seat. Then I’m gonna love seeing the knives out his party will have for him as they toss PP to the curb.

      I wouldn’t take anything for granite.

      I’m optimistic but trying to be ready for the worst, because the worst happens way too often these days.

      Wonder which feral creature survives and rears it’s ugly head? It won’t be any reasonable person guaranteed, they always have to double down on the crazy shit.

        I don’t think Doug is a viable federal candidate and the only reason he remains in power in Ontario is because the Ontario liberals are in disarray and decided running Doug -lite was a good idea in 2025. Never the less it would be nice to see a classical fuck you I got mine conservative at the head of the party again.

    While Ford publicly maintains he will work with whoever is in power in Ottawa, insiders suggest he may privately find it easier to work with the federal Liberals under Mark Carney, who Ford has praised as an “extremely astute business mind”.

    Carney’s intelligence far surpasses Drug Fraud’s, and I don’t think the Fraudster truly understands that.

    But he will soon enough.

    Mark my words, if/when Carney wins the election Druggie will learn the hard way just how difficult his life is gonna be for the next 4 years.

      Dougie deserves it. Half the shit people are upset about in this country are provincial responsibilities anyway, like housing supply. Policies like the housing accelerated fund can be painted like government over reach, but when a whole nation is blaming the feds for something that is more realistically their premeirs problem, the feds have to do something and i think the fund is a good middle ground. I hope it ends up spurring more density within cities and villages across the country.

      This is one of my biggest complaints living in Ontario. So many people blamed JT for things that were more realistically Doug’s responsibility, yet they voted Doug back in cause its easier to just blame Trudeau than it is to actually change the ways we build housing (housing accelerator fund to spur rezoning and devlopment), move people (Doug building hwys instead of rail and transit while also ripping out bike lanes), and generate energy (remove the carbon tax instead of investing in green energy that wouldn’t be subject to the tax).

    “I don’t know if he wants a federal seat, but he wants options. And keeping himself separate from the Poilievre brand helps with that.”

    Lol PP getting the JT treatment even without being in charge of the country.
