#Ontario's own #Trump, #DougFord, wants to keep hold on power beyond even his opportunistically obtained mandate earlier this year by moving elections to 5-years instead of 4-years.

He also wants to remove fixed election dates, instead holding snap-opportunistic elections when it is favourable for the party in power just like he did earlier this year!

The next election is supposed to be June 2029, but he wants to stay in power until
!!!
2030
!!!
without needing another election!

Donation limit increase so he needs fewer large donors? Yup!

Donations limits previously increased with inflation, but 'ol Dougie wants them to increase by 50%!

Just as Donald Trump with his demanding states gerrymander districts to secure his power, Doug Ford is making changes secure his power!

Ford and Trump are cut from the same cloth!

🇨🇦 Ford Overstepping his role--Again

"Fraser shot back that “Ontarians are paying with their jobs for what you just did,” a reference to Trump’s threat on Saturday to add an additional 10 per cent tariff on Canadian goods because the ads were only paused on Monday so that they could run during the World Series.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday that trade talks had been proceeding well until they were halted because of the tariffs. "

🇨🇦 👀 Ford reverses--sort of

" the province would, however, “continue to implement common-sense reforms and strengthen the province’s rental housing market by restoring balance at the Landlord and Tenant Board, cracking down on abuse of the system, and encouraging new rental construction to make it easier for families to find a place to call home.”
👉 This move comes amid loud pushback from renters, advocates, organizations, and several politicians.

🇨🇦 The food bank system in Ontario is no longer sustainable, a new report warns as the number of people in need grows amid skyrocketing grocery prices.

Food Banks Canada’s The HungerCount report released on Monday reported over 760,000 unique individuals accessed food banks monthly in Ontario between 2023 and 2024, which marks a 125 per cent increase in food bank use since 2019 — the fastest growth the organization has ever seen.

(But there is a SPA!!)

After 20 years since the law was introduced, Doug Ford wants to scrap fixed election dates in Ontario so he can hold on to power for up to one year longer thanks to his majority government.

He must be thinking that his current popularity isn’t going to last. What does he have planned?

All of #Canada must say thank you #DanielleSmith & #DougFord!

Their pandering to ultra-right numbskulls is what made this happen!
