Governments have found a source of funds to repair roads and sidewalks. Hooray! Will Mr. Ford be able to replace all those dollars used to fund much-needed renovations in most cities?
He calls it money swindling. People who intentionally break speeding laws must suffer the consequences, people who allow others to use their vehicle who break speeding laws must be held accountable; they should make better choices.
Where will the money come from to install speed bumps, flashing lights on large signs, roundabouts, etc.? You and I, taxpayers. Where will the money come from now to repair roads and sidewalks? Tax increases – where else? This includes all citizens who obey speed limits. How many years will it take to complete?

Mr. Ford stood firmly on the side of the lawbreakers – disgraceful!
Mr. Ford, Ontario has many significant challenges to overcome; why, oh why are you obsessed with this?
Priorities, sir, priorities.

I CAN'T SUPPORT FORD
The United States has Donald Trump, and we have Doug Ford. Before I continue, I want to make a full disclosure: I have been a lifelong Conservative Party supporter, but not Doug Ford. His actions when he poured the whiskey bottle on the ground were pure theater. Ford's LCBO order to remove American distilled products from shelves was stupid at best. A ton of sales revenue went out the window. Maybe he should have warned the LCBO of his intentions? How are overall LCBO sales doing right now?

Trump wants more cars made in the US. I'm waiting for Ford to threaten to stop making cars and auto parts in Canada for sale in the US!

BIG PUMPKIN?
Watching our spineless Prime Minister in the Oval Office reminded me of Charles Shultz's hapless Charlie Brown character from the cartoons. With Halloween just over two weeks away, Carney goes to meet Trump, knocks on the White House door, says “trick or treat,” hands over an open pillowcase and receives a rock.
