Meanwhile I have to listen to braindead coworkers lecture me on how everything is Trudeau's fault and once the Conservatives get in federally they'll fix the economy. Hadn't heard more discussions of economic policy than when I started working on a construction site. Apparently every random drywaller is an expert.

This isn't the zombie apocalypse we wished for!
Brain dead people who don't eat each other? I want a refund.
$15B a year subsidizing private for-profit corporations by cutting the budgets of all sorts of public institutions. Great.
And that doesn't even mention that these corporations are double-dipping by charging the government then charging individual customers.
But, folks! Ford understands the little guy! He's not one of the elite!
"Little guy" here is apparently shorthand for "little group of guys who control a disproportionate amount of power and wealth in Ontario"
Maybe that's part of the problem. If he was already a member of the elite instead of a flunky hoping for acceptance, maybe he wouldn't be working so hard to screw us over.
Nope, it wouldn't make a difference. Look at the UK. Rich guy in power, also helping his buddies get richer while screwing over the general population.
Good point.
In the last election 57% of Ontario eligible voters stayed home. Propaganda not only works it works this well. Pay attention, and vote, always vote. The most common form of propaganda is that making you think voting is unimportant and does not matter. If it did not matter, voter suppression, gerrymandering and anti voting propaganda would not exist.
