Made us the most locked down place in the Western world during the pandemic, illegally cut nurse wages during the pandemic, paying nursing agencies 3x what nurses actually cost to no benefit of anyone except the agencies, and made us pay for attack ads against the federal government for not closing the border during the pandemic (when the only reason it was open is because Ford wanted more international students during the pandemic).

It's embarrassing that we re-elected them. You're preaching to the choir here.

Oh yeah, I could go on for days about how fucked we are because of him. Can't forget the 7 mil he just paid on ads to tell us how great Ontario is because of him. One hell of a narcist that one is
