    Ontario’s debt levels are at $485 billion for 2026-2027, up from $337 billion when Ford was elected premier. Debt servicing costs alone for Ontario were listed at $17.2 billion in this year’s budget, which is more than the province is spending on post-secondary education.

    Jfc.

    Jas Ontario learned its lesson now? Don’t fucking elect this shitheel again.

      No Ontario has not learned. A lot of local news websites have commenters claiming this purchase is proof Ford is actually a liberal. It might get Ford out, but they’ll still support the party.

    So what shitty behaviour was this a smokescreen for?

    That’s the play, right? Do something outrageous, catch a bunch of headlines. Do something less outrageous but the media is so distracted by outrage that they don’t cover it.

    Back off on the outrageous thing, mission complete.
