Heads up my fellow Canadians, this tracks for our country as well, albeit on a smaller scale. Keep your eyes on the Conservative Party of Canada, but also on Premier's Danielle Smith, Doug Ford, & Scott Moe to name a few. #cdnpoli
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

And it’s time for another game of “Line My Donors’ Pockets” brought to you by Doug ‘screw the people’ Ford.
Superb skills development fund scoop from the Toronto Star, which has got its hands on a database of scores for applications.
It reveals several with scores of 50 or less where the minister overruled civil servants to hand out the money anyway. #OnPoli

Secret data reveals which low-scoring applicants still received millions of dollars from the Ford government’s skills fund
Secret government data obtained by the Star shows 26 applicants scoring 50 per cent or lower received $36.6 million from Premier Doug Ford's controversial Skills Development Fund earlier this year.

Tomorrow would be a great day for Mike Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva so we can find out whether some of these donations from oligarchs and nepo babies to Trump were made because they are in the Epstein files which Trump and House Republicans are hiding from the people.

Everyone unable to get Blue Jays WS tickets & then got shocked at the resell prices. Remember that here in On we used to have a law that limited reselling to a max of 50% extra of the printed price. Doug Ford happened & he got rid of that law. The resell nightmare is all his fault
