I am embarrassed and ashamed about donating money to them now.

Honestly this isn't actually that surprising to me, because as lovely as Ford is, I can understand the mindset of a non-voter choosing to vote for him. If you think ALL the options are poo poo, you might want to deliberately pick the worst option just to hasten the demise of a system you already hate.

Either that or the incredibly trivial stupid promises like dollar beer are the only thing that actually managed to reach otherwise unmotivated people. It's easy to lose interest in complex political topics but "cheap beer" is a fairly easy sell.

Accelerationists are terrible.

My dude, if your parents are immigrant Chinese I'm surprised you are even asking this question. Figured you'd know better by now.

Just wait it out. That's really the only answer.

I got mine to vote NDP at least, but we live in Markham so that was essentially throwing our votes away.

Some of these replies are precious. Is Ford Nation already turning on its leader? :allears:

If I could I'd move away.

I only like it here because pretty much every band I like will stop in Toronto.

As someone who's lived here their whole life, Ontario has a lot of dumb people (and people who think they're smarter than the really are) so it makes complete sense that they'd both laugh at Trump and then elect a Trump-lite.

Oh thank you Doug for the tax credit instead of putting the money in my hands directly with an actual wage increase. :toot:

Don't use your hands.

Maybe it's just harder to see because I live in the 905 and people who aren't actively garbage are still complacent because it hasn't gotten lovely enough for them yet and I don't know how I/the left as a whole can engage these people.

Yes America elected Trump but it definitely seems like there are lot more active and prominent leftist voices in America and folks are definitely catching on to capitalism being the loving problem. No politicians here actively talk about plans to fight climate change and it's super disheartening how pro-oil and pro-pipeline it is here. If the Democrats gently caress up again then I'll be wrong but it sure as poo poo looks like they're doing something and at least some of the old guard sees the way the wind is blowing. Meanwhile one of the two provincial NDP governments we have is still shilling hard for the oil industry and federal NDP is almost non-existent but they sure like to send me fundraising letters all the time.

All these posts going "hey we're better because Trump" just kind of proves the point.

Dougie canceled the free tuition for low income households in Ontario, dropped tuition fees by 10% and told universities they'd have to cover the difference on their own, and has imposed a freeze peach ultimatum to blackmail universities into allowing right wing hate speech on campuses or face the province's wrath. Oh and he refused to let the province help fund a French speaking postsecondary school despite Ottawa saying they would help offset the cost.

It's almost like this fat gently caress hates young people.

God I have a seething hatred for this dipshit. I wonder how long I can keep avoiding the friends I know who voted for him (and likely voted for Goldy in the Toronto mayoral election).
