It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

We live in a very strange timeline where the Ontario Premier is outdoing American governors on what constitutes "really dumb ideas". If you live in Ontario, I would urge you to watch to the end of the video and file a public comment during Bill 212's consultation period, ending on 20 November 2024.

Ford is upset that 3 roads he takes leading to his work have bike paths, presumably because he feels they have slowed down his commute.

The solution for him is to remove these bike paths so he can get to work without seeing bikes. That’s all there is to it.

He wanted so badly to be mayor of Toronto and when that never happened, he made sure to act as such once he became provincial premiere.

Doug Ford belongs in the circus, not in politics. I hope one day we all help him get towards his intended career goal and out of office where he’s clearly struggling.

can ford just have a stroke and fuck of for good already? he's always been a fucking idiot. Wasn't he behind the shitload of money used to take down an already built wind farm without it running even once?

Who keeps voting for this idiot? he'll only be replaced by somone who has seen his success and do the same thing.

Nobody. Nobody is voting. That's the fucking problem.

[–] undercrust@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, what was it, 60% of voters in Ontario didn't even bother voting? 17% of voters voted for Ford? I'm hazy on the numbers but I think that's right.

That's awful.

Lots of people who like $$$ in TO, I'd expect. We need more turnout from everyone else.
