fucking do they they do have to listen to their constituents there's a lot of power in politics to sort of like follow the whip of what your leader is doing but if it means at the cost even if it's your one regional seat and everyone in that region is being like if you do this we're not fucking voting for you that person is more likely to bend to the will of the people if it's strong enough okay they're gonna lose the election now i'm like do we go to the most devastating thing the science center
we can okay like i'm just like it's actually like how are we not done like it's actually so i want to give more examples of like even in health care during covid for example like there was this huge huge investigation into long-term care facilities that are privately owned by the canadian armed forces and realized like they were like literally in awful conditions cockroaches rotten food severe and medical neglect
then Doug Ford passed bill 218 which raised the legal bar required to sue any of these long-term care facilities um for negligence they change it to like it has to be gross negligence I think the term was yeah so effectively shielding for-profit operations from liability and then since then they have continued to issue long-term 30-year licenses to some of the very same ones in the investigations that were causing these things so this I
Another example, not looking out for the people looking out for the private investment of like corporations.
Okay.
Some other examples of abuses of his executive powers, especially in Toronto.
You might remember back in 2018, suddenly in an active election cycle in Toronto, he used his provincial powers to slash the size of the Toronto city council in half, basically from 47 seats to 25.
Um,
This kind of thing happens over and over where he's like just changed the law and done whatever the fuck he wants.
For example, he used the ministerial zoning order, a tool meant to bypass local planning codes for emergencies at a rate 17 times higher than any previous government often to benefit friendly developers.
So he's changing like as many provincial laws and we're going to get into even more of those because right now he's changing a bunch of laws.
So you can't find anything out about what he said, which historically are allowed to look at the records of any,
I have to say, this is like Trump's tax returns, which we're going to release.
Remember that?
It's like, this is the perfect example.
Right now, Doug Ford is trying to hide every conversation he's ever had, changing the laws to be retroactive.
We'll go more into that specifically.
Yeah, so that he can defend the fact that he's- Because they're realizing there's shit in all of his logs and conversations that obviously would expose how he has-
Yeah, walk him up.
I liked when Reitstow said that because it's like, if you have nothing to hide in this case.
