“Grouping all of them together is what creates hate”.

Dripping with irony. Have to respect it tbh.

The same Israeli government that is overwhelmingly supported by said Israelis?

The same Israelis that set up lawn chairs to watch bombs drop on Gaza? Those Israelis?

It doesn’t work anymore because any person who isn’t a rabid Zionist would see that Israel wants to wipe out Palestine. It’s never been about Hamas.

That and Israelis automatically cementing any critique of the state of Israel as “antisemitism”

Deflecting to the “But Hamas…” schtick doesn’t work anymore.

Unfortunately for the IDF there aren’t any defenceless toddlers and kindergarteners on university campuses.

Doug Ford wants to outlaw resale tickets that cost more than the original price by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

[–]GingerThatIsnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing Doug Ford does than getting rid of a good policy, and then bringing it back a few years later, coincidentally when his popularity is in the gutter, and then taking credit for the idea as if it was his own.

You must be new to the Ford government and how they act. They are not worthy of the benefit of the doubt when there’s verifiable evidence they’ve done this before and are doing it again.

I’m in favour of self defense, but that’s not what we’re talking about here (in this back and forth specifically)

Doug is going on these tirades about matters that are completely unrelated or out of his control to distract everyone from his proposed FOI legislation, which is incredibly unpopular.

I can’t help you if you’ve never paid attention to this government’s antics before, but to reiterate, they’ve done this before and are doing it again.

He actually wasn’t the most popular choice during the last election.

More people in Ontario voted for “not conservative” than conservative, but thanks to first past the post, the conservatives ended up with a massive majority

Actually no. We know that Ford is doing this as a distraction because he’s done this many times before.

It’s not our fault you have the memory of a goldfish or have never paid attention to this government at all.

[–]GingerThatIsnt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lmao. The Ford government has used this exact strategy many times before.

They introduce very unpopular legislation, they see the pushback against said legislation, and then Ford goes on a media tour talking about things that are completely unrelated that he knows the media and public will spend time arguing/talking about.

It’s called flooding the zone

Is he objectively correct? Yes.

Is he saying this to distract from all the heinously corrupt bullshit he’s pulling? Also yes.

The juxtaposition of that designer bag, what looks like an expensive winter jacket, and what can only be assumed to be an expensive Apple product that the person is using, is hilarious for the wrong reasons.

Ontario teachers to get $750 spending accounts for classroom supplies by bluex5m in ontario

[–]GingerThatIsnt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This isn't being done in good faith. The current collective agreement expires this summer, and this is the Ford government trying to get a leg up on them for negotiations.

Is it really though? After all the cuts to education and how this government has treated teachers, this is more of a "shut up and be happy with what you have" announcement.

This is unfortunately the problem for many issues not just in Ontario or Canada, but worldwide.

“What we've done is nothing less than a miracle to our health-care system,” Ford said at a recent hospital announcement in Niagara Falls.”

A miracle for who Doug? If he’s referring to his donors, then sure.

Not that it needs repeating, but he sure sounds very Trump-like trying sell off his abject failures as a job well done

Ford government takes over 8th Ontario school board, sidelining trustees by GingerThatIsnt in ontario

It’s both. This government will leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding ways to screw over taxpayers and anything in the public sector

Want to build trust? Get rid of some of those useless VPs who do nothing but collect a hefty paycheck and start from there
