Doug Ford’s snap election is reactive not proactive.

It’s time our political parties on all levels work together, which means it’s not time for a provincial election when our federal government is under stress.

It is time to play nice in the sandbox. With a majority government, Doug Ford should be hammering out realistic long-term strategies for Ontario’s future with or without tariffs.

Instead he is spending millions of our dollars to hammer out HIS future. This is exactly why the people of Ontario should not vote for him. Voter turnout will be low due to people out of country, weather and voters not having enough time to hear all of the opposition’s plans.

Ford is a Trump wannabe, he was happy when he got in. That should tell us something.

Beware, we are next unless we figure things out…. And soon.

Don’t buy into his rhetoric, it’s sounds all too familiar… I’m doing this for you… Ford is all about Ford.

We don’t need this election for so many reasons. He already has majority government, the cost, poor timing and  pulling attention away from what really matters. This election is about Fords future, not Ontario’s.

Doug Ford, the people of Ontario are not shallow. Is this supposed to be a real thing? You need to ask us to spend money? Since when? You have spent blindly for years.

Stop the BS, move south of the 49th and carry on with your new buddy.

Good riddance!
