Remember how canceling the gas plant was such a big deal? I bet the apologists will be out in force explaining how the fact that we are on the hook for this abjectly corrupt effort to transfer billions of dollars of unearned benefit to Ford’s wealthy developer friends/donors is, “ToTaLlY dIfFeReNt.”

    Par for the fucking course. Remember how his crackhead brother cost Toronto nearly $100M in cancellation fees, wasted work, and then probably hundreds of millions more in lost productivity by writing a one page memo on mayoral letterhead cancelling Transit City?

    It infuriates me that people think conservatives are good with money. They burn through hundreds of millions in utter and complete bullshit while championing ‘efficiencies’ and burning the system down from the inside.

    Folks, we have to remember the gas plants!

    But seriously, I think it’s clear for anyone who’s following, that we’re way beyond that at this point. I’m pretty sure we already topped the gas plants losses during Ford’s first mandate with the cancellation of green energy projects and such.

    Rob Ford was utterly delusional about his accomplishments or was a Trumpian scale pathological lair. Everything he claimed to have accomplished was clearly and demonstrably a lie.

      Well…I mean…it’s still on the Ontario PC party website list of 10 Things Kathleen Wynne would like you to forget so it was a big deal Doug Ford’s party during that election.

      There are also hundreds of articles from that period where various PC talking heads spouted off about it and the offshore trolls posted a bunch of memes on Facebook about it and there were lawn signs all over the province.

      Are you sure you want to try this bullshit with me today, @Rocket?

          You’re boring. It’s always the same contrarian bad faith nonsense with you. Look me up if you learn any new songs.

              ad ho·mi·nem

              adjective

              (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

              So my comment, directed at the positions you always maintain, was an ad hominem?

              Interesting…
