Another signal that Ford is going to try and use Trump’s possible tariffs and the chaos in Ottawa as an excuse to call a provincial election.

His rationale doesn’t hold any water—they have a majority government.

Time and time again they play Ontarians for fools. #onpoli

Just spectacularly out of touch—and so goddamn Liberal—that instead of addressing the country as the government implodes, the Prime Minister chose to speak at a partisan fundraiser that cost $1,700+ a ticket.

Our communities and Councillor Gord Perks have worked for years to make Parkside safer. Just this month, Council approved a thorough redesign of the street, including new bike lanes.

This camera was one measure to reduce speeds and save lives.

Motorist entitlement knows no bounds.

Just a few months out from a rumoured provincial election, Crombie's Ontario Liberals have stalled.

They're already admitting they can't defeat Doug Ford.
