  1. Doug Stalin speaks!!!

    All hail our great leader who somehow manages to destroy Ontario’s economy while also destroying it’s fiscal budget at the same time.

    1. @sampson ireman That I use the term ‘perfectly sane’ to describe someone (you) whom clearly is not?
      I agree…well spotted.

      Have a nice day…and take your meds please.

    2. I’m with you. To bad the NDP was not in power. They would have closed every business and borrowed money to pay everyone 100% of their wages to stay home for 6 months. I want 6 months free money. NDP or liberals next election.

  2. how about lower our bloody taxes on our wages???? I don’t understand how anyone can afford to live in Ontario anymore… I work 40 hours a week and will die in debt…

    1. @rigjockey67 beautiful there…but the big cities are nightmares.. neber go to Montreal…trust me. I’m lucky to be alive. Not hating on an all, but if they had their way, we’d all be as evil, mean and speaking total French. I know some French.. but I shouldn’t be attacked for not. Eff Montreal.

    2. The new carbon tax just announced will add 60% to your heating bill …. just in time for winter , yay libs

    1. Of course they have to have a second wave,they planed it years ago and they are sticking to the script.

    1. @Meg Fargo Laying off nurses and hiring PSW makes sense. Now they should lay off teachers and hire ECEs

  3. Evangelist Ford preaching the same old tired sermon. I could use a little better pension at this time .

    1. @ dy persaud
      You have a provincial pension?
      I thought that was a federal thing?
      But that doesn’t fit your narrative does it?

    2. @Sean Thompson Blackface Boi is far from perfect but not everything wrong in the bloddy country is his fault.

    1. @Jack Walker the surge is coming, yet lay off 100 nurses. Yet we have money to give to other things.
      Did we play this game in March. One or two hospitals bogged down and the rest of the nursing was doing Instagram and tic toc.
      I almost want to say they are conspiring.

    1. Between him and Liberal Kathleen Wynn, they’re just two sides of the same establishment coin, especially after Doug started getting way too friendly with Chrystia Freeland.

  4. It will be interesting when we need to find a way to pay for all this, then we tax *everyone* more, including these front line workers.

    1. It happened here in Manitoba. Everyone was infatuated with the NDP and tons of money floating around from 1999 to 2016. The everyone suddenly realized that 25 billion dollar debt has to be paid back with interest. 800 nurses were taken off the payroll. 500 lost jobs at Manitoba Hydro. City of Winnipeg taking down speed limit signs along Grant to get 30 million a year speeding tickets……

    2. @sulphur Manitoba CON-servatives are the leading experts in being two faced do nothing hypocrites. They had no choice because the NDP was borrowing something like 700 million a year just to pay the interest on the debt. I have given up on all of them.

  5. What about construction workers, truckers/bus drivers, cashier’s, driving instructors, strippers , hotel staff, factory workers etc…😅🤣😂🐑

    1. @curtisw0234 no normal thinking individual would want to do that job during these wild times

  6. Imagine Doggies carbon print with the truckloads of food he devours every day. He is one HUGE guy and a HUGER 2 face.

    1. @rigjockey67 we’ll also see major drops in death stats across the board in every category since they’re counting EVERYTHING as covid 19!!!!
      (Many are waking up and fighting back!!!👍)
