It's Official

Wynne is gone.


Doug is in:

Newly-sworn in Premier Doug Ford will bring the Ontario Legislature back on July 9 to begin implementing a plan he promises will make life more affordable for folks.

(Sidebar: one of the promises he should deliver is the cessation of tax dollars to other parties.)


Ford filled his first cabinet with experienced party veterans to deliver on election promises like cheaper gas and hydro.

Ford took on the cabinet portfolio of Intergovernmental Affairs after stating he would be fighting with the federal government to protect Canadian interests in the NAFTA trade war.

(Sidebar: no, private citizen and former prime minister Stephen Harper is going to defend Canadian interests and Justin is not at all happy about it. How embarrassing it must be to have one's rival fix one's mistakes.)

“To the people of Ontario I say this – our government, our team… we will never forget the trust you have put in us,” Ford said in a speech to about a thousand invited guests and members of the public who gathered to watch him publicly reaffirm his oath of office on the front lawn of Queen’s Park Friday. “We will never forget who put us here and who we are accountable to.”

Canadians do not hold their leaders accountable. The consecutive terms of Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne and the waste and corruption left in their wake are evidence of that (does one need to be reminded of Justin Grabby-Hands?). One would be stunned to see vigilance this time around.
