Can't find a fraction of of that to fix the Science Centre.

Can, however, spend a fifth of that amount to end the Beer Store contract early.

Finally, what's galling is that this is only the third or fourth most wasteful thing he's done, depending on if we count the attempted nine billion dollar Greenbelt Giveaway.

But yeah, Conservatives are "good with money".

This lyin’ fuck has had enough chances. His term needs to be ended. Does no-one in QP have the courage to impeach this prevaricating predator? Or does Ontario lack the legislative juice to topple this criminal enterprise? The time for talk is past. It is now time for action.

We unfortunately gave him a majority, so, no...

[–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Gave him a majority with record low turnout...

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

That makes it even worse.

It’s not like he’s any different today than he was then

There’s a 99% chance of a majority for him today and a 1% chance of a minority

A majority isn't protection against a criminal investigation.

I mean it absolutely is, but it's not supposed to be.

Those people in Brampton asking for a new hospital are going to be so pissed.

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

They're probably blaming Trudeau for that. LOL

And nothing will be done. Gotta love this capitalist society that we've all been trapped into

It seems gen pop like it this way... Bootlickers provide political cover for the regime

I have no idea why people get so attached to corrupt right wing politicians.

Do they just not pay attention? I know a bunch of the folks here in Saskatchewan are just too stupid to put 2+2 together, but come on Ontario, do better!

Seems to me it's because so many people don't have coherent political ideals of their own and are just identifying with this or that player or team. Lack of media literacy and the corporate control of mass media play into propagating this problem further, though it starts with upbringing, much like a religion.

There are ways to debate political issues without tying anything back to political parties. For a long time now, we could have used more of that both in schools and in the media.

Oh that was a nice slip there. Wow.

In the video, where he says how much they've spent.

I wish he was interrupted by the Journalist to prompt him yes or no
