"pissed away a billion on beer"

And at least $1 B to facilitate the luxury Austrian spa on the waterfront

And the $3.2 B in upcoming election-bribe cheques

And the $13.7 B associated with his fight with nurses and educators #Bill124

And the $3 B to cancel 227 clean energy projects

And the $4 B in "misplaced' federal Covid funding

And the $10 B tucked away for his Hwy 413 through the #Greenbelt

And untold $$$ ripping out existing bike lanes

And on..

"Dr. Philpott is being used by #DougFord as window dressing to tart up his failed administration going into an election. A sure sign, one among many, that Ford is planning an early election.
Don’t fall for it, #Ontario" - James Wooten

"Dr. Jane Philpott is potentially giving Ford and his #Conservative govt cover for their retrograde healthcare policies, including the failed union-busting #Bill124 & withholding BILLIONS in healthcare funding" - Campbell Patterson https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/philpott-ontario-family-doctor-team-1.7358032?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub

Ontario appoints former federal Liberal health minister to lead primary care team | CBC News

Former federal health minister Dr. Jane Philpott will head a new team with a mandate to connect every person in Ontario to a primary care provider within the next five years, the province announced Monday.

CBC

In 2019, #DougFord's Conservative govt claimed -- for over a year-- that their #Bill124 salary caps were due to Ontario's "$15 billion deficit".
They lied.
We now know they inflated the real number by $7.6 billion in an attempt to justify their cuts.

(#Ontario’s current deficit is $9.8B which is deeper than Kathleen Wynne’s $7.8B deficit in 2018)

#DougFord is sending you a $200 cheque so you will overlook:

Over $4.3 million of your tax dollars were shovelled into legal fees for 2 court cases defending Premier Ford's wage-cap law (Bill124) after it was struck down as unconstitutional.

Ford lost both cases.

#Bill124 was passed in 2019 to LIMIT salary increases for nurses, educators & #Ontario public sector workers at 1% per year for 3 years. At the time, the province said it was done to help eliminate the budget deficit.

Peter Bethlenfalvy does not regret introducing #Bill124. https://www.youtube.com/live/VX8unQumchA?si=EiExGshlU5qDMsxB This guy is now Minister of Finance responsible for the government's booze boondoggle.

"Reminder: #DougFord has made significant funding announcements for Magna & Runnymede Hospital … both just happen to employ his daughters [convoy Kayla & Kara] in jobs that don’t require a university degree (but still pay extremely well).
Ford also gave his nephew [Michael] a $166k cabinet minister position & gave cops (like his 2 son-in-laws) an exemption from #Bill124 to get higher raises than other public sector workers like nurses."

#DougFord made NO mention how he'll fund our hospitals if the province stands to lose $2.5 billion/year in dividends from the #LCBO.
🤔 hmm, lets think. Privatize?? Use your credit card for surgery, not your OHIP?? Close or amalgamate hospitals??
