The Bloody Doors Off

And by dictator, I mean our Premier. Doug Ford.

I ranted earlier this week about their blatant disregard for the right for unions to strike.

Here we are, three days later. Labour are picketing province-wide. Twitter is aflame. (Mind you, the majority of that dumpster fire is credited to Elon Musk.) Brian Tilley of the Toronto Sun is rimming the CONservatives’ asses, and accidentally exposed their endgame for education.

To privatize it.

Like they want to privatize healthcare.

But the blowback.

That’s exactly what they wanted.

Because we were all distracted.

The Provincial government quietly announced they were going to develop large swaths of our Green Belt to build 50,000 new homes.

They weren’t done.

Ford’s office also released a statement that they are going to veto the City of Hamilton’s decision not to expand their urban boundaries. And while they told voters before the municipal election that their mayors would be getting special ‘veto’ powers over city councils, that was incumbent on obtaining the Premier’s approval.

Doug Ford can override their decision.

That’s what they just did.

And they get to do this because the majority of Ontarians chose not to vote.

The desecration of Canada continues, with provincial governments in Alberta and Quebec chipping away at our rights, freedoms, and protections.

And this. This is what I fear will repeat next Tuesday, across America.

In 2013, at this time, I thought I was living in the ‘darkest timeline’. (Thanks, Community.)

I was off by nine years.
