Doug destroyed thousands of small businesses forever and now he wants to look like a saviour.
@Line Heuston-Hanley maybe he should of listened to economists and civics advisors who said it was a bad idea
You want businesses to be saved Doug was saving people’s lives.
So true
He saved countless lives during Delta with those restrictions. Now they are useless but that does mean it was not necessary.
@Tracy Kirby you following along destroyed small businesses, look in the mirror you are the reason.
We have to be CAUTIOUS with Doug Ford. He may pretend he is done with Covid-19 and restrictions. He destroyed businesses in Ontario.
This guy’s on the take big time!!!
He is pretending. Same kind of character as Bojo in the UK.
He’s trying to save his skin. This is political 100%
@Corrie Crazy wrong. Ford have the orders no one else.
He was careful not to destroy his business and make millions from peoples suffering.
Most sensible statement he ever made , but it’s a day late and a dollar short .
@M Not passed yet…
@John Bucholtz Appox. 1 trillion in revenue losses, that’s just here in Canada. The world is so much more.
“Doesn’t take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” – Bob Dylan
Honestly, more than I ever expected. It’s not much, but I’m shocked.
We won’t forget his words and ACTIONS last week he need to begin shopping another job…. DOUGGIE we won’t forget!!!
still cant stand the guy, but have to admit its the most sensible thing he’s said in over 2 yrs lol
no…. he needs to spit out the full sentence – DROP ALL MANDATES, FOREVER…INCLUDING THE DIGITAL PASS HE IS SLIPPING UNDER THE RADAR. wake up.
@Brady Richards that’s for dam sure.
@McGacka Clan not soon enough.
@Artur I’d ask who is, but when I think about it, everyone is.
@Violet cuz his re election campaign is coming up, so u do and say what 51% of your base wants to hear politics 101
Why wasn’t he saying any of this a week ago?? And they wonder why government isn’t trusted.
I bet the squeeze is on from higher up. He does what he’s told or face the consequences.
Because the numbers in the hospitals are only just dropping now.
He wasnt even saying this 24 hours ago.
@L M oh did the tumble weeds finally clear out of the hospitals? great news
A week ago? He should’ve been saying this from the start.
Doug Ford: “Everyone’s done with this!”
All of Ontario: “Hold on. This whole operation was your idea”
Just wait and see how Ford will blame Trudeau for everything. Ford has no qualms in lowering himself to get your vote.
Lmao hahaha
They will take credit for anything they can. The masters of spin. Let them fight the cause now then replace them in elections
Except it wasn’t his idea. It started way above him. He’s just the voice box.
When we get to see Ford talk candidly he is against everything. But then Trudeau will have a meeting with him. The next day he’ll sound like a scared robot fighting everything Trudeau told him to say
Just 1 week ago these politicians accused the unjabbed of being murderers.
I’ve had constant harassment, verbal and physical threats of violence. Even family members say I deserve prison and they’d turn me if it becomes law.
This guy’s a joke.
@Jamie Hastings don’t forget we are takeing up space in this country and shouldn’t be tolerated
So sorry about your family. Been there. Also, someone on this thread need an enema. Any guesses?
Preach
@Muskie Angler COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way. Both mRNA and viral vector COVID-19 vaccines deliver instructions (genetic material) to our cells to start building protection against the virus that causes COVID-19. However, the material never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA is kept.
😉
I’m sorry you have had family treat you like that. At least you learned a bit about who you can trust 🙁
He’s starting to sound sane, his poll numbers must have been dipping.
@Max Weinbach lol, I know you are but what am I?
@Jay Pee nobody because I didn’t msg you.
YOUR BANG ON
He doesn’t sound sane at all. He’s just trying to get your vote. Any votes he will play both sides and if you believe in these politicians just because they sound like they said something that aligns with your ideology, well all I can say is I have some snake oil to sell you.
The other 2 options are mandating boosters and vax passes. He probably has it in the bag.
I mean they’re all masons anyways 🤡
The government always 2 steps behind. In this case 2 years too late for many small businesses who had to suffer through this incompetent government on all levels provincial and federal. I myself was put out of a job for half a year for no reason at all but still had to pay and dish out tax money to these incompetent idiots. Your right i am done , done with everyone in government its time to clean house.
Agreed! I don’t want to just go back to a “quasi-normal” life in the same system with the same politicians.
Me neither!!
This 💯💯💯
Wasn’t Trump vilified 2 years ago for saying we are just going to have to learn to live with Covid and get on with our lives and here we are…
Yes and rightly so. Now that it’s dying down and we have some effective treatments, unlike two years ago, we are reaching that point.
@Captain Canuck Eeeeeeew!
@Tim Challenger you notice how fast Trudeau “recovered” from covid? I didn’t see him look sick at all it’s a miracle (rolling eyes)
It’s like Liberals/Demorats has to catch up in terms of cognitive abilities. Nothing wrong with being slow..unless you’re making policy and are in charge of a whole country.
Logic isn’t a class but if it were you probably would’ve skipped it
yet he voted against ending mandates yesterday when put to a vote on a Federal level – would love him to explain that.
@C ok. Since there is no PPC they’re really isn’t another option imo
No he is not an MP he is a premier. He was not voting
@T Ratzz It does seems so. Wonder may be Trudeau just makes it up Doug agreed. What is new.
@moose boi there’s isn’t
do u know what the hell are u talking about
After a long long time, I finally heard something that completely make sense.. 2 shots, 3 shots… doesn’t make any difference, you can still contract the virus. If you’re vaxxed and you took it because you believed that it will protect you… why you need to worry so much if the person next to is vaxxed or not. You cannot force everyone to think the same way as you do. We need to move forward and go on with our lives and respect the choice that everyone makes. Peace to everyone!
@Zenon ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
@Zenon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Zenon the chance of hospitalization before vaccines were already negligible.
@Zenon you miss the point! If it DOES protect you why does it matter if the person next to you is vaxxed or not?
@Zenon dum dum
Everyone should be concerned that he actually made sense. That’s how bad things are about to get with the truckers.
Thank you. I’m certain this was a difficult decision to make knowing repercussions from JT are coming your way. You’ve done the right thing. I applaud your bravery.
At the same time we’re gonna remove Him from office
@Abram Goertzen remove him to replace him as del duca. nice logic. No one will win except either olp or opc
@Abram Goertzen You won’t have to. They make examples out of these men. His time is numbered, likely die from “COVID” before Christmas.
Well said Sir, “WE ARE DONE WITH IT”.
Doug Ford changed the license plates slogan of Ontario from “Yours to Discover” to “A Place to Grow”, and then went on and destroyed small businesses single-handedly for two whole years!
Well, his waistline grew 🤣🤣🤣
Let’s be honest the pressure from the federal government has fucked this country nobody else get real
in his defense tho you can now grow weed here. not that it matters
I thought it was because weed was legalized
I’ve been saying from the beginning that this guy’s looked like he was forcing words out of his mouth that he didn’t beleive in for the last little while. Today he looks like he genuinely believes what’s coming out of his mouth.
Yeah I can’t tell if it’s great acting or he’s allowed to finally speak freely.
This is the most sane, human, logical string of thoughts I’ve heard a politician put together since this mess began 2 years ago.
I’m one of those 10% that didn’t follow the rules I am so proud of it
I never believed that Premier Ford agreed with the words that he’s been saying the past year. He sounds like he finally came home 🇨🇦
Don’t trust him.
