Theft. Grand theft. Massive theft. Nuclear power is a theft mechanism.

This is more Doug Ford: Doing Stuff™ brand-building. It won't make a meaningful difference in any way but it looks like he's accomplishing something for the little guy. Easy populism. #OnPoli

It's not a sound comms strategy to have your key spokesperson on an important issue changing his key message daily. Is Captain Canada jettisoning Cabinet transparency and accountability because he's fighting the "Chinese communists" or protecting constituents? #OnPoli

Doug Ford thinks he's unaccountable to anyone except his developer pals, but he's employed by the people of Ontario and he's required to show his work. #onpoli

Doug Ford acknowledges transparency clamp-down is to protect his personal phone

The province is in the process of overhauling how freedom of information works in Ontario to retroactively exempt all calls and texts from the premier and others.

The Canadian 'but her emails' crowd is pretty silent about Ford's FOI changes.

@tk And they are tearing out bike lanes for the same justification, as well as opposing rapid transit bus lanes (which currently can't even exist where I live due to this opposition).

Note also that "slowing down cars" doesn't slow down traffic for drivers, or the time to get from point A to B. It just makes traffic more safe and consistent for everyone.

Which is why the Provincial legislations to tear out bike lanes in Canada are being met with Supreme Court challenges for being unconstitutional; because they are intentionally endangering people's lives.

Our self imposed mandate is cartoons about #Ldnont. If the politics touch us more directly we will draw #onpoli and #canpoli political figures. But Barney does it best.
