Doug Ford a bad boy....

Looks like Doug Ford stepped in it the other day by heading up to his cottage..... I think this is his first misstep since the beginning of this virus....
Doug you should have gotten in front of it before the media found out.... What were you thinking.....
Do as I say not as I do....

Justin goes to the cottage to visit his wife
Doug goes to the cottage to visit the plumber
Tory goes to a parade

I am sure there are many more examples out there but don't our leaders know they will be under the microscope?
Anyway I think overall Doug is doing a good job just a little disappointed with this move...

I agree ford has stepped up his game. But it was not his first misstep, he told everyone to go south and have fun during March break, after everyone else, said not to. He got much smarter after the backlash came in.

Id want to check on a reno if I had potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in it... if he just drove up and checked it and turned around I cant blame him, but I totally get what youre saying hes acting like Trudeau here.. "do as I say, not as I do" typical political BS.

It's ok the virus was already here long before then. . We cant blame them for not shutting down soon enough it was already here already around the world before the inital Chinese doctor announced it.

They are back testing old cases from back in December testing positive for covid 19.
What they thought was the influenza virus turns out to be covid 19 spread before the virus was actually announce from wuhan.

That pretty much means it was on the loose and traveled the world before we even know it. . Anyone that had a swab test done for the influenza apparently they can go back and retest it covid 19.

The study was being done in France I believe. They are finding positive test from December.

Fined him on what charge?
And by the way I'm no Ford fan but what law did he break?

Making a quick trip up and back can hardly be called spending the summer there. Much ado about nothing. As if the media doesn't have enough to report on already.

Must not be too much of a problem it happened Easter weekend lol. But someone had to shame him it's how we live now adays to call out others lol.

If you ask a question the other doesn't want to here you are racist lol.

Just part of the bubble we live in I popped mine over 30 years ago lol

What I can’t understand is why do we even know? Ford must be followed 24/7 like his brother was. And “no” these aren’t good optics and I like the guy.

Ford is better than the last two liberal crackpots we had in there..they should have gone to jail for the crap they got us into. If you want to go to your cottage then go.You can social distance there just as good as at home.

Can you blame the man for checking on and protecting his assets into which he is investing more dollars ?
I think anyone would do the same , leave him alone and find something else to complain about.
Get back to Justlied Trudope and Bill Blier!

Totally agree - people were ok with him driving around delivering masks, he makes a stop to check on his cottage and now the complaints come in...

My guess.
Someone “snitched” on him.

I haven’t read about it in the Kawartha. Did see something where residents in the Muskokas started public shaming cottagers on social media. The usual crap. Take pictures, start spreading it around.

small town Ontario is pretty POd. It is beyond possible someone saw Ford at his property, lights on. Or maybe he stopped for a coffee. And.....

The problem for Ford.
Is he believable? People that wealthy tend to have other people they use for such mundane task as checking property.

It’s not quite as bad as JTs lack of leadership. JT spent the Friday telling people, that they couldn’t go, that they would have to skype, and virtue signalling.

Fords stepped up. Good behaviour does not excuse poor behaviour/judgement. It does help though. JTs over all handling of the crises? I’d give Ford a B+, JT a C at best, a generous best.

Yes, Covid was already here. With this beast every day, every hour matters.

If you think differently, let’s open the flood gates Monday. Full steam ahead including our borders and airports.

The only complaints came from Global TV. Gee,quelle surprise.

No law your right, But all these nimrods (Mayor, Premier and Prime Minister do daily press conferences, Telling people to stay home, Get irate when people dont, Call them yahoos, Then in the next breath, Stand beside a bunch of healthcare workers to get their picture taken on the street, Or heads north to go to their cottage. Stuff all us normal people aren't suppost to do.

I guess it's just another " Do as I say, Not as I do" ???

I can't wait for the May2-4 weekend when a half a million cars head north on the 400 with the middle fingers in the air out the window.

lol, cant say I blame them.
If someone stops me from going to my cottage, they better have a fat discount on my tax bill to keep me away.
Luckily my cottage is in the same city limit my house is in.
Going again tomorrow, I hope its my last snowmobile ride this year.

Deer hunter? Where “roughly” are you. I’m guessing north if you still have snow

At this moment I’m in the parking lot of our general store. Waiting for it to empty before going in. It’s 5:30 pm on Friday. There 6 other cars in the lot. One is definitely from out of town. Any other day of the week. The lots empty. Maybe 1 car. They are coming out with staples, beer. I’ll wait, not the end of the world. And this is Ford fault, he doesn’t have the balls. Oops I’ll wait longer. 3 more just pulled in.

I read yesterday, a daycare in Quebec. 16 toddlers... the longer this has gone on, there more they’ve learned. It’s does permanent damage to organs. Blah blah blah.

Sometimes I chuckle. Depending on the topic, liberals are slammed for traits ( elitism). Or the 1%. For getting rich and keeping too much. After all, we paid for the infrastructure....isn’t that what Obama said? The next, something else is argued.
:)

New Zealand. Crushed it ( for now). How? They slammed borders and issued “stay home”. Can’t leave your neighborhoods. I’m not convinced that’s the best yet but I do think. Their economic pains will be far less. The difference between ripping bandaids off, and slowly choking the life out of a country per se

Cochrane District, we just got another 2". Winter doesn't want to end. Hopefully go in with sled and come out with ATV. Two weekends ago I tried that and buried bike in snow 2 times. Worked my azz off. lol

Agree with this post.

I actually wouldn’t have a problem with that. We are subsiding small and medium businesses that are in similar boats. It is probably the “single, fairest” solution to everyone.

But it should be a discount. Not 100%

We, tax payers of Ontario. Paid to build the roads you use, to get there, paid to build the city, so you could have good jobs, so you could spend “pennies” ( relatively speaking ). Supporting them

there are reasons kids from small town Ontario leave to live and work “elsewhere”. Reasons why 70% of immigrants come from all over the world, to live and

what exactly?

Crazy. Well I had a good snowmobile ride this morning. Haha

I love that area. Makes for a long winter though.

A friend of mine shared that silly cabin, or “cottage” to keep it topical. 1 million bucks for a year thing. Which these days includes “ you can’t even do it for a month”...

A whole bunch of people, mainly women said “yes I can”.Felt compelled to remind them. No TV, No internet, no running water, no Nat gas.

And -30 temps when they go to pee :)
