you guys might want to thoroughly shake your journalists if they continue to behave like mouthpieces for shitty racist comments like the US's did

We have hardly any journalists left. Its all corpo-propaganda.

do you guys listen/support Canadaland? they aren't perfect but they do pretty good coverage of internal Canadian affairs

What the fuck. This guy.. The lack of awareness that the land out of which we extract so many resources, like convenient geographical location to build cities on, was taken away while letting them keep land with less of that... And then you go and say they come cup in hand.

It's too bad Ontario and Canada are deeply racist as well, or these comment could really hurt Ford. Instead, the eager public will eat it up, and these comments will further benight people against First Nations.

Yep - anti-indigenous racism is the most common, most accepted brand of racism in Canada, and it's deeply ingrained. DoDo can go to hell with his shitty, insulting, bigoted comments.

I need to know what Ontarians see in this guy. Like time after time, they vote for this guy.

Some of my friends and coworkers really see this guy as a "fighting for the little guy" person. I need to understand why.

They're very, very stupid and bigoted.

Sorry about that.

The real answer is probably along the lines of no one is immune to propaganda.

I met a realtor who is vegan, animal lover, and big on the environment. She voted for ford. Guess she didn't get the memo he's gutting the endangered species act that protect the same animals she loves.

Many young people think ford is on their side, will lower housing costs, and lower cost of living. Guess they forgot all about those greenbelt scandals that benefit real estate developers.

Maybe they oughta come with something more akin to his style of doing business.

Maybe a dry dildoand a shotgun?

It's holidays for them fancy OPC folk.

Probably up at their big fancy summer cottagr. Not to be confused with their big fancy winter cottage.

No doubt on treaty land and even likely it's on or through reserve territory.

Lotta cottage country up there on that stolen land.

Dough Fraud is a racist piece of shit mafia adjacent criminal.

Corporate welfare and billion dollar boondoggles - cons are silent.

F.N. Needing to be at the table - cons call "hat in hand."

Apologizing for shit is part of Ford's brand. People think he's actually pretty reasonable because he'll say he's sorry. He gets a bump for being a bigot and then he gets another one for being a swell guy.
