Are we supposed to pretend Doug Ford’s $200 ‘rebate’ isn’t a pre-election bribe?

What's the biggest FU to Ford we can spend that money on? Should we just toss it to the NDP?
75% tax exemption on provincial political donations, so if you donate to the NDP you spend $50 and the provincial government sends $150 supporting them.

So by giving that 200 check to the NPD. I'd be forcing the Ford government to also give money to the NPD?
Effectively yes.
They give you $200. You give the NDP $200. You get $150 back at tax time.
Now you have $150, the NDP has $200, so you've effectively had Ford give the NDP $150.
This should be a campaign. Imagine if even 5% of people gave their $200 to the NDP. It would be so funny if this election bribe gave the NDP enough money to win
