“…..Interim Federal Health Program went from costing us $60 million in 2016 to costing $989 million this year.”

The same Canadians will vote for the same Liberal candidates and expect substantive change……….

five times in a row.

Liberal inbreeding must be why. Why would he go after Pollievre on the refugee situation when the liberals have had control of it for 11 years. Ford is a liberal in liberals clothing. He is not even trying to hide it anymore.

Premier Oaf has got TDS bad and should take 2 aspirin. Nothing he has done as the leader of Ontario has moved the province forward - except Bud Lite in my corner store and forcing\mandating our school kids to watch some Olympic hockey. Canada is broken, Ontario is broken - we are effed.

Doug Ford should just keep his opinions to himself or just shut up. period. He has forgotten that he is a POLITICIAN, and should be aware that they are a breed no longer liked or respected in Canada. His arrogance knows no bounds. OMG-just the same as Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney. God help us.

There are reasons for blaming AI for a situation where our system failed on so many levels and no one wants to take the fall or needs to:

One of them: Government longs to control the internet. Trudeau bought failing Canadian media and got what he paid for. But buying the internet is too big for any of them. So they gradually default to thought police.

Thought police need a target and the target is us - supposedly brainwashed by AI. Although the cases that produce the timely news are individual and unusual, they will be generalized to all of us by a magic formula: "See. It could happen to anyone! So, you see, government intervention is justified."

Prediction: As timely photo ops and screeds in favour of government control morph into legislation, media figures whose work is increasingly unread* will reappear as - disinformation control czars.

With any luck, our VPNs will still work.

Canada has much to offer the U.S. and we are also a stable trading partner and allies of course. Still are or could be. We are at a crucial crossroad and Eastern Canadians have yet again shot themselves in the foot by voting for Liberals. Ford is a liberal wearing a conservative suit and tie, check his socks and boxers probably a LPC logo on them a Christmas gift from Justin Trudeau? I digress… We are now adrift in iceberg ally no one at truly at the helm but international pirates who have commandeered the bridge. Donald Trump is shrewdly dealing from a position of power. Canadians are screwed if we do not realize the power in our own foundations. That power is being disabled and dismantled by Carney an international Bankster who has doubled Trudeaus frequent flier miles around the globe over the last year and has returned with nothing but empty promises! He sits at the foot of the bed constantly telling Canadians how great it’s going to be when we get the NWO version 3 improvements while we sit on blue screen from version Trudeau 2. Bastards should have been Microsoft salesman!

Canada needs leadership that is truly for Canadian Interests Only! Who concentrate on presenting Canadian strengths and developing those strengths instead of spouting verbal dysentery about how great it’s going to be when we actually build something. Ford panders for support by investing more money into Ontarios EV battery industry which have no customers and are not likely to, Canadians do not want E.V.s! U.S. doesn’t want our batteries. China?😂 right. Europe? Probably not they will purchase cheaper Chinese technology. Meanwhile the Ag industry which is three times the size of the automotive industry is attacked by Ottawa and systematically dismantled with Federal regulations and their neglect just as was done to the oil industry. Then these Laurentian losers call the western provinces traitors for looking out for themselves for a change. All this falls at the feet of those who voted Liberal no one else!

Well said! It's looking like Carney is willing to drive Canada over the cliff to get into the billionaire club. It is obvious the almighty dollar is the top of his list. He and his minions are a bunch of EVIL BASTARDS. To the Liberal voters in the GTA and Lower mainland Vancouver, This crises will come to your door eventually, first you will loose the free handouts(already happening)and heath care will get worse if that's possible, crime will be out of control which you then will be in lockdown, all your freedoms gone!

Sounds like a horror movie that never ends. I implore you to look in the mirror and ask yourself was I better off 11 years ago.

Great points Dan!

Thank you Karen! Appreciate your time spent in a reply!

How typical of a politician,in this case Eby, to feign outrage and blame someone else for their problems. The AI issue deflects from the ugly fact that there IS no mental health system in B.C. Patients are taken to the "psych ward" of the nearest hospital and released asap because there is simply no room for them. But now Eby has an excuse and I'm sure he'll use it at every opportunity.

B.C. is stuck with the worst Premier in the country and the Opposition is still in disarray. No relief in the future.

The young man in Vernon who walked out of the hospital in his PJs and straight under a semi.

I looked that up. How awful and sad! I am sorry for this young man and family.

It appears that, as usual, the government will attempt to address the problem by treatment of the symptoms, while avoiding any discussion of the problem, as it leads back to an already despised healthcare system. Any “doctor” that believes that the addition of female hormones to the bloodstream of a male already diagnosed with psychosis needs their license to practice pulled forever. The government will want to avoid this solution at all costs, because of where it leads.

I wonder why ford gets on American TV at all. I imagine Americans thinking, "who the hell is that", and hitting the remote.

LC's avatar

Because the DemoRats are always looking for a FOOL to put on TV. Ford fits just perfectly!

FortheLoveofFreedom's avatar

Personally, Ford is embarrassing. Why he continues to poke the bear bewilders me. Is he playing to the elbows-up loonies? Does he really believe what he is pushing? Did he get some marching orders from Carney? But for God's sake, stop!

Douglas Towler's avatar

HOW LOW, will the person too many Ontarians, unwisely elected, to lead them, have to sink to, BEFORE "IT", comes to it's senses and realizes the ONLY REAL HARM being Done, IS TO THE PROVINCE HE IS SUPPOSEDLY LEADING, TODAY ???

The biggest faux pas Trump makes is making it obvious to a thinking brain exactly how poor management of our nation has been. One look to the results Norway has managed for their people is all ya' really need.

Doug Ford has been a huge disappointment IMHO. He has failed to deal with housing costs, ballooning debts and deficits, chaos and left wing ideology in our schools, anti-semitism, and so much more. Now he is making comments that he has no business making as a Premier. As a private citizen, he could have said whatever he wanted. I thought his Crown Royal stunt was stupid, and this is worse. I understand his responsibilities are to the province, and therefore he needs to be on good terms with Ottawa and the Liberals there. But he seems icreasinglyi erratic.

First off, anyone who would watch wolf blitzer is already on the wrong track. Anyone who would be interviewed by wolf is also on the wrong track....but we know canadians do love their CNN. And they do love to hate trump....go Canada! See where this is gonna take you....just think if canada found their own leader who wanted to make canada great again....just think...

I dream about it every day. We could be the richest country in the world! We could pay no taxes like Alaskans. We have the resources, just not the will.

The progressive Liberal Party of Canada is toxic to young men, women, and society at large. They and their counterparts across the West are behind and the very cause of upheaval and destruction across all Western Nations. They are the enemy of the people, freedom, and prosperity. Look at the state of Europe and the fall of the West. This is purposeful destruction by the progressive leadership in all Western democracies. Who votes for their own economic and societal decline? Yet time after time, regardless of the consequences of electing these progressive train wrecks, their destructive rhetoric, dictatorial and freedom sucking policies, and open borders to deplete their own populations, the Citisens continue to vote them in to finish off their own countries.

Interesting articles.. Ford is pushing buttons and i do think Carney is supporting him or pushing him to do so..carney insults Pierre and steals his ideas.. im not sure ..is it funny sarcasm while being friends?

That health care budget.. why do liberals think it acceptable as it is. Do the care how incompetent they look?

Were a santuary city..Toronto.. designated by John Tory. Were being taken advantage if.. why ? Liberals are relying on the making friends with other countries and we get nothing but friend in high places.. interesting..

That health care budget is unsustainable... what will go? So far its canadian citizens.. liberals are taking liberties at our expense.. and were powerless , so they think.

How far do we bend backwards? I'm done!

Great post. I wondered why AI was being blamed, and you have confirmed my feelings. Now a little off the topics in today’s post. Re yesterday’s FC podcast. Chris Selley provided a sufficient amount of not over the top anti-Trumpism. Gunter’s deranged TDS added nothing detracted from the show. Poor choice of panelist.
