Ontario Premier Doug Ford, like Conservatives across Canada, is hell bent to get rid of every regulation and law that prevents his corporate friends from maximizing profits. Completely ignoring the climate crisis, Bill 5 lets corporations do whatever they want no matter what harm it does to the environment or people. It is not a surprise; Ford has already legislated removal of inconvenient red tape regulations that protect the people in healthcare, education and housing.

Doug Ford’s entire campaign was based on a promise he would save us from Trump. Who will save us from Ford? When US President Ronald Reagan and UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher brought in their policies of tax cuts, deregulation and privatization, they promised prosperity for all.

In this election Doug Ford claims he wants to fight Trump, but it is no mystery why Ford was 100 per cent happy Trump was elected. Ford acts and behaves in the same ways. Authoritarian Ford has installed loyalists at every government tribunal and agency.

February 17 is the leaders debate at the CBC. It will be consequential because of the many problems we face today. There is one issue that affects all others because of Premier Doug Ford’s spending on it: hydro. Billions to subsidize hydro, rather than using that money on critical issues like healthcare and housing. Much of the following is a review for rabble readers. However, the problem remains.
