Canada

The shock that we reelected this turd still hasn't worn off for me. I'm afraid that the next provincial election might cause even more trauma.

So we're supposed to truck ourselves for an hour or more in a car, at our expense, to spend money in a downtown that we can't afford to live in, so that landlords--who are already rich--can get richer? How about landlords pull themselves up by their bootstraps, stop buying lattes and avocado toast, and cancel their Disney+ subscription?

Also:

• This is rich, coming from a guy who avoids downtowns where possible, and ran away and hid when the Convoy occupied Ottawa
• If you want people to live downtown, how about providing for actual affordable housing in downtown? Get out your chequebook and fucking build it, Doug.

For the love of god, won’t someone please think of the parking garages!

it really affects the downtown

Well, I can at least respect the honesty, rather than the typical "collaborative work" bullshit.

The entitlement Ford shows for business owners to other peoples money and time absolutely disgusts me.

Ford called his plea a "simple request" — for the federal government to require public servants to return to the office at least three days a week, a point of contention for many public servants during contract negotiations last year.

"You got to get the economy going downtown. These restaurants are hurting, the shops are hurting. Ridership on the transit's hurting," he said.

"I think that's a normal request. You get hired, come to work. Imagine if I told everyone else in the province you don't have to go to work? Our economy would be shot. So, they shouldn't get special treatment."
