  1. CW: Long thread/19

    In 1998, the dead-eyed Romneyoid Premier of Ontario #MikeHarris "amalgamated" Toronto with its suburbs, putting it at the mercy of car-addled out-of-towners in an act of gerrymandering that all-but-guaranteed that city residents' political choices would be swamped by suburbanites who could be convinced to vote for laughable Tory bumblefucks like #RobFord.

    "#The Mike Harris government thought it was a good idea to “engage the private sector in improving transportation infrastructure” — many Ontarians vociferously disagreed""

  3. #DougFord is taking a sledgehammer to government #accountability — and it’s going to work

    "OPINION: The government has decided it's bad politics to share bad news about the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. We must demand better."
    (We are demanding better and always have. The likes of #DougFord don't care and don't give a damn and will do what the #Oligarchy tells them to do!) #MikeHarris - we got lucky - he screwed up with privatizing #water.

  4. @gemelliz Former #Ontario #Conservative #Government sold public highway #407ETR to a Spanish Company. IMO the then leader #MikeHarris who isn't that bright, is a rocket scientist compared to #DougFord; so when the latter was elected I wondered what wacky dealing with public lands it foretold. The sale of a waterfront public park to a private Austrian company is the answer. Thanks to @StrategyCorp in Toronto for brokering away the gem that #OntarioPlace was for #Toronto.
