The health care system is a mess, the education system is a mess, LTC is atrocious and kids with autism can’t get timely therapy but paper bags in the LCBO is what gets Ford’s attention!

    Anything that would facilitate money going into his pockets has his attention.

    Pray he doesn’t pay more attention to the health care and education systems more than he does, because they’d be on a faster track to defunding and privatization.

    It still baffles me that he won because less than 20% of the population got out to vote.

      I don’t understand voter apathy and wonder how to get people out to the next election

        The other problem is that the other parties have nobody to run. I don’t even know who the NDP candidate is although I would happily vote in their favor.

        The problem is that the older generations have all these grudges from shit that happened before my lifetime. I don’t care about Rae days, but they apparently made the NDP entirely unelectable in Ontario. I don’t care about gas plants, but every time the Liberals put somebody forward we just hear screaming about how much money they wasted.

        Is it too much to ask that my goddamn social services work? I’d vote for anyone who came out and said public services should be allowed to operate at a loss because they exist to provide a social dividend that cannot be easily calculated in hard cash values, but that seems increasingly less likely these days.
