Today in Ford cruelty

Drug Fraud cut funding to the Ontario Arts Council and the Indigenous Culture Fund, the latter being a direct response to the Truth and Reconciliation Committee report.

He cut funding to the College of Midwives.

His ridiculously named new omnibus bill puts large swathes of the Greenbelt in danger.

Amazingly, this hasn't actually increased investor confidence in the Ontario economy, probably none of these cuts end up saving money. 

It's going to be hilarious if his whole Math Is The Only Subject That Counts rampage results in a generation of voters that can actually do math and realize how much bumbling Tory austerity measures really cost. But not really because in the meantime, a lot of people are going to suffer and some will die, just like the last time the Tories were in power.

P.S. This is who he's talking to about curriculum changes.

It's only five years. We survived his brother. Five years.

(I'm scared for my province.)

[sabotabby]

I don't think we really survived his brother. We're still cleaning up his mess.

[notasupervillain]

We're recovering, at least? Not recovered, but not in the thick of it anymore?

[sabotabby]

I think he changed things in ways that will be very difficult to reverse. Tory has just as terrible politics but Toronto will settle for an incompetent mayor as long as he's not literally smoking crack.

That’s one of the problems with lowering the bar.

Which scarily means some people will consider Mammo a viable candidate for mayor next time around.

[sabotabby]

Oh, it'll be Mammo or Baby Ford. Like with the American presidency, it's all about name recognition from now on.

[notasupervillain]

I never thought I'd miss competent Evil this much. I'm down with Tory, at least he's doing the terrible things on purpose.

[sabotabby]

I keep saying this, but I demand a better quality of evil.

[notasupervillain]

I demand a world where low quality evil can't fail up this far.

[sabotabby]

Indeed!
