Another failure of the Doug Ford government, but then again it's no surprise. Ever since he took sides with Trudeau he has changed for the very worse. He's in politics for the $$ not the people.
You can tell they were up to something,i would like to see his house and that ford guy.
Clark's resignation is NOT A POLITICAL STORY. It is a CRIME! When will Global News wake up to the fact that this is not a political scandal, corrected with apologies, excuses, and resignations. When developers engage in unregistered lobbying of politicians and their bureaucrats, they're not out to change political policies, but to make a profit by having land re-zoned for developments without making the appropriate legal applications. This is corruption and collusion. Find a REAL JOURNALIST, and ASK THE RCMP WHY THEY ARE NOT ARRESTING ANYONE!
The Buck STOPs with FORD! Resign!
FORD TIME FOR YOU TO GO TOO!!!!!!!!!!
I feel for the Cree families that suffered from this tragedy but again their leadership are taking political advantage of family tragedy to blame the “system”. Enough look inward to your own community to understand why he became what he became
I thought the invasion war between Russia and Ukraine was over but I guess not . Where’s the peace treaty to end the invasion war
i don't know about the Crimea, but 95% of the Donstk region's population is Russia. Zelensky won't stop the war until it's returned to the Ukraine. He's literally getting ppl killed over a line in the sand….the eastern border….he wants to keep the land, even though the pop iS Russian. He doesn't seem to care how many Ukrainians die over this….He's literally fighting over a line in the sand. Only 3 are benefitting from the war…..Raytheon , Lockheed Marting (both american war munitions makers) and Zelensky, who is now richer than he ever dreamed of. The Americans alone have sent the Ukraine billions of dollars, and the USA has NO idea where the money has gone.
Xi Jinping isn't attending G20 because of a border dispute! lmao!!
GloBULL, you've spread so many ridiculous lies, but this is one that made me literally laugh out loud.
China's not attending the G20 because they're attending the BRICS summit.
You know that, you liars.
So if Ford is in charge of housing in Ontario how is everyone blaming the Liberal government for the problems in Ontario wouldn’t ford the guy that has a family vacation home in the Bahamas the one to blame
Why hasn’t half of Trudope’s cabinet resigned?
Question are they not giving the land back because they've already spent the money.
Cant wait to see his worse replacement
"Landlords are overcharging criminals // no you cant build more houses"
Name a more liberal pairing
i give ford credit
his people resine
trudopes dont
I feel for James Smith Cree Nation members, and understand how colonialism has left Canadian indigenous populations with many problems, BUT, this stabbing spree was clearly an issue with how the courts deal with repeat violent offenders. That should be the biggest part of the conversation. Mental health counselling and addiction treatments are a part of the picture, but they could not have prevented Myles Sanderson from the violent, drug dealing criminal that he was. Keeping him in jail where he belonged would have prevented the killings and that is where the large part of blame should go.
That's what CONservatives do. You elected them. Dont get fooled again.
Development should be stopped asap
More precious farmland will be paved over and food sustainabilty will be lost FOREVER.
M. Ford….demissioner aussi…..
Say bye bye to Green belt..it's just the beginning….doesn't look like he needs food…
Housing prices and rents cannot come down without a surplus. Tens of thousands of units are constructed each year. More than a million are required. A variety of spurious pretexts are employed in order to justify placing a halt on the further use of land, deliberately keeping housing in short supply.
Those that come out in protest are the unwitting victims of a con job that falsely believing will secure their future ensures their demise. Canada has 895,000,000 acres of forest that is a fraction of its total territory. None may be spared for housing.
Fifteen square miles allocated to housing that in a relative sense is the equivalent of a molecule in a football field would eliminate the shortfall and bring housing prices back to a normal level. Citizens of a democracy will not allow that to happen.
A home used to be a place to live in and traded in a free market like that for cars (until it was turned into a financial instrument in a monopoly) and persons at each income level could afford to buy one as homeowners whose income increased moved on to newer, more expensive homes leaving their old homes to be purchased by new entrants. (You can purchase a three-bedroom home in Detroit for $15,000).
Before persons are admitted to public office, whether elected or employed at any level, they should be placed under oath and required to swear to the truth of their response to these questions: Is your ulterior motive in becoming a public servant to place a halt on the use of the land resource? That was not promised to Canadians? That will cause home prices to skyrocket and shunt the lifetime earnings of citizens exacted through rent directly into the pockets of the chosen few? Unjustly enriching them and leaving residents impoverished and homeless?
your fearless leader is a true Ford
It’s about time Doug ford should be made to resign
Doug Ford should lose his job he should lose his government pension and should be charged and be held accountable by our justice system
He should be made to realize that he should have been concerned about his ethical behaviour not the behaviour of media at his daughters wedding
I’m sure he will be better at putting his colleagues under the bus to save his job then he is at actually making sure that he is doing the job he was hired to do with our tax paying dollars
Well I guess that makes Ford just as corrupt as his minister
mr ford tell people a lie that you ,yourself can belive it , its all over your face ,you dont belive your own lie.
how about loocking 0n are soulders for housiong sorry
who is donating to Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party.
It shows Big Real Estate Executives listed as Conservative donors — all while they profit off the incredibly high cost of housing that Pierre Poilievre says he’s going to fix.
Ford should resign !
