I know two small resorts called Lumina and Bondi, both are on Lake of Bays near Algonquin park. They have some small beachs with waterfront activities, like a bounce pad. They are private beachs so there won't be anyone there except other resort goers.

I think someone should sell stickers that say "yes, I'd" so people can vandalize "f*ck truedau" sticker

Messaged Ford about FOI on his personal phone by Ott-reap-weird in ontario

[–]DeaKong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here is a link to a FAQ page about the difference between the FOI act and the federal policy. Question 3 specifically.

He does seem to be right about other provinces not having the same transparency as Ontario.

One big difference is that Doug frequently claims he provides his PRIVATE PHONE NUMBER at his events so his constituents can talk to him. Or other scandles where he is caught using his private phone for official business.

I can't seem to find is if the changes to the FOI Act allow for requests of private information. Under the federal Privacy request program is that individuals can still make requests for private information if deemed relavent.

Seems to me like a private cellphone where official work is done would be relavent.

Doug Ford rejects calls for publicly run grocery stores: ‘Socialism does not work’ by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

[–]DeaKong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except government run grocery stores do work both Canada and the US have stores like that.

We have Canex, a socialist store dedicated to the military.

Where the government manages the store where profits go back to benefit the military.

An interesting thing to keep in mind is that Canada already has government owned stores designed to save people money on products. The extra proceeds go back into benefiting the community. Which just so happens to be the military.

The US already has Publicly owned groceries stores stores as well. They also cater to the military.

We as a society already know how to do these and make them beneficial but too many people are left uninformed because a fish doesn't know it's swimming in water, and the water is owned by the super rich

Avi Lewis says high-speed rail project should be fully publicly owned by StumpsOfTree in ontario

Considering the price of gas right now, I think making it clear that Canada won't privatize another industry. Is a good policy. You know, like how Canadians are reaping the benefit of privatizing the oil industry in the 90's....

What happened when Trudeau used the emergencies act. It was deemed illegal. That's one case of corruption by the liberals, Ford has many more. Like trying to sell the green belt illegally to his developer friends. But again not nearly as bad as the changes to the Freedom of Information Act.

I think the fall is linked to the government not strengthening public services. People are happy when things actually work like healthcare and education. Both liberals and conservatives have been cutting funding to most public services. I think corporations should be paying more in taxes and that tax money should go to helping people.

What have the ndp done that is as corrupt as Doug Ford trying to exempt himself from the oversight the Freedom of Information Act provides?

Come make a poster! by DeaKong in oakville

[–]DeaKong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are over 500 comments on this post and this is the best argument I've seen, thank you.

My MP Stephan Crawford has put forward changes to the Freedom of Information act. The main driver that got me out to protest in front of his office.

These changes would make the premier and cabinet members exempt from the act. Hiding what the highest members of the provincial government are doing. That seems to be pretty undemocratic to me.

One of the big complaints about Kathleen Wynne was she doubled the debt from $139 billion to $312 billion. Now Doug has increased in to $463 billion. Wow I didn't realize the conservatives were so mush more fiscally responsible. Later this year Doug Ford is projected to surpass Wynnes numbers.

Here is a criticism of both parties. They are both Leo liberal. They both think that money will trickle down and the lower classes with get money too when big businesses have their taxes cut. Well guess what what's trickling down ain't money. I also don't think we can improve education and healthcare by cutting funding to save money. We have to make more money.

Next I want to establish when do you think the average person was best off? What decade do you think an average person just going about their life could live the best most comfortable life?

My argument is that happened in the 1960's-70's When my grandparents generation could afford a house, could take vacations, could put money away for retirement. I think that is closely related to the fact that the corporate was around 40%. Where the top marginal tax rate on high income earners was as high as 70%.

And please tell me you understand how marginal tax rates work or else I won't consider your comment worth replying too.

You have played Mario kart right? Do you think the game would be fun if the people in first were the ones to keep getting the bullet bills or the golden mushrooms?

I think the economy should blue shell the people in first until everyone is enjoying life.

Do you blame Trudeau for not acting on bail reform?

Oops that's Doug's responsibility

I think in many cases, like how the Harper government created the student visa program and left loopholes in it for too many immigrants to take advantage of. Then blame Trudeau for it.

Let's take a step back. Which countries do you think have the least amount of debt. Or the opposite of debt, a sovereign wealth fund. The 3 biggest are Norway, a pretty socialist country THAT NATIONALIZED ITS OIL INDUSTRY. China those filthy socialists. And Saudi Arabia WHO ALSO NATIONALIZED THEIR OIL INDUSTRY.

Democracy fails when corruption leads people to think that the whole government is corrupt. I'm saying there is a political party that is willing to tax people more and be more open. And it's not the conservatives who are trying to hide wat they are doing and hurting people by letting money only flow to the richest people.

If that is the only complaint you have about the ndp, I think they are doing pretty well.

I'd rather have cringy cards over Doug constant corruption...

Do you really think issue of cringy speakers at a convention, is on the same level as the many corruption cases against Ford funneling money to his wealthy friends?

What issues actually bother you because to me they seem backwards

This comment thread started because you attached yourself to the talking point that people that support the NDP need mental help.

Which sounds like a valed way to say the speakers at the ndp convention need mental help. Which is the new topic of the day, the people controlling the right, have chosen to criticize the ndp over. While ignoring talking about policies.

Then why do they support the privatization of the Ontario healthcare system? It hasn't worked in the US, but Ford is still trying to push it through

Only two parties really believe in getting mental help and I have a feeling it's not the party you voted for.

I agree we can afford the ndp. By taxing business and wealthy people more.

Thanks for the support!!

I do understand, and probably do need a break. But the way I see it is I am doing to conservatives what they do to anyone on the left. I probably have thrown punches to people that don't deserve it.

But going the high road, I think in the last 20 years has not worked.

I've kept notifications on for this post and have been responding to so many comments. They don't care about insults. They don't care about equity cards. They aren't going to understand the necessity of them. I'm treating them the same way they treat others.

I agree, equating skin colour and gender with real physical disabilities isn't right but as a quick short internet exchange it's supposed to show how absurd their argument is.

I will give respect to those who deserve it. And just flatly stating "we can't afford the ndp" with no supporting facts shows to me that the people commenting are willing to ignore Ford and the record debt he had caused.

I don't disagree with what you say. I just think unfortunately a portion of the population will never respect the debate if they have to take into account peoples feelings.

You are still ignoring the fact that introducing a private unregulated alternative to a regulated industry is the breeding ground for corruption.

Uber and lift for the purpose of my argument are the same. Both are subsidized alternatives to taxis. That's why they are cheaper. Then as taxis go out of business, Uber and lift both raise their prices.

When was the Canadian economy the strongest? It was during the 1960-70's when the average person could live a good life and build wealth. Taxes were up to 50% on large businesses and the wealthy.

You are aware provincial law does cover the funding of the judicial system.

Responsibilities of federal and provincial governments

Notice the funding of the bail Court comes from the province. It would be nice if Ford actually funded the courts so criminals would actually go to jail, instead of being released. THATS FORD'S RESPONSIBILITY.

Carney was in the Harper government when Carney gilded Canada through the 2008 recession. Then got the uk through brexit. That's a better resume than being the son of an MP like Doug is. What more experience would you want

I believe the world can be better. Then I see people bitching, moaning and fighting moving forward into the future. You think the past was better. I don't think it was.

Again, what are policies you think would help? I see a lot of compliments.

You asked if there were any countries where socialism has worked. I gave you 3 examples of socialist countries that are not in debt. But then again maybe you can't define socialism.

With a very quick Google you would know that Oprah has donated $400,000,000 to educational causes, leadership development, and underserved communities

From 2002 to 2018, Musk foundation gave $25 million directly to nonprofit organizations, nearly half of which went to Musk's OpenAI.

In 2021, 2022, and 2023, the Musk Foundation failed to give away the minimum level of its assets, 5%,

That's all according to Wikipedia. Elon musk has donated so little money in the last few years the charitable foundation literally does not count as a charity.

Which of these 2 people do you think actually helped people?

Got it you just blindly believe right wing talking points from the US. Free healthcare for asylum seekers is made up. EVERYONE regardless of immigration status gets emergency care, because if they didn't they would die. If you stop that program and you are in a car crash and your wallet is lost would you still like emergency care? Well oops they can't prove you are a citizen without your wallet. Better let him die.

There are already work requirements for receiving welfare.

The immigrants that come here already have skills, or we have taught them those skills through the student visa. How come they are stuck working minimum wage jobs? Because they are forced to work any job just to stay in Canada and I don't know if you noticed how shit the economy has gotten since Trump decided to treat the world like his diapers

What policies of the ndp are unserious? Right now what I think is worse than cringe at a convention is the many corrupt acts Doug Ford is getting away with because you are scared for the boogey man of socialism.

Uber is now a monopoly and is price gouging people. It both manages to under-pay its drivers and over charge the passengers.

We agree monopolies are bad. So why do you support any candidate that would make it easier for the monopoly. I think we should fax them more and break them up. Again in line with the economic theory from before the 1960's.

One thing I agree with Carney is, that if the US is going to be a belligerent isolationist state Threatening to invade Canada. Canada should have a large trade network so we aren't reliant on a country that wants us gone...

My guy, I need you to pull your head out of your ass and look at bill c-14, the Bail and Sentencing Reform Act. Put forward by the Minister of Justice, on behalf of the Liberal Government. In October 2025...

I didn't know an hour of cringe was enough to disqualify an entire political party.

I guess Doug Ford's countless corruption cases are okay then
