Because the Liberals who came before him were worse, and to those who keep voting for him, haven’t changed.
With that said even in the snap election the Conservatives weren’t as popular as duggie is thinking he is. Rural towns flipped Liberal though not enough of them.
The Ontario Liberal and NDP parties need to get their act together and start cleaning up since the last election the campaign on “we’re better than Dug” when dug was very popular with his hard stance on Trump
The liberals before him were not in fact worse. Smarmy assholes who didn't do enough, sure. Worse that Doug Ford, not by a long shot.
I wasn’t in Ontario so that’s what I am hearing from coworkers and neighbours
He is actively, blatantly dismantling every public service to drive everybody to the private sector so he and his friends can directly benefit.
Sadly, Nobody cares.
This is true.
Trump stopped all cancer research, and no one cares.
Lots of people care but feel powerless. Which is partly the point.
I will make things clear. I hate duggy, especially what he did to the Science Center, and I refused to vote for him... ever.
Wait. What did he do to the Science Centre. And is this something that slipped under my radar, or is it something I'm trying not to think about because oh god, there are so many things to think about.
Sorry to be the barrier of bad news

Fuuuck.
I do remember that now. Sad that it got buried as "just another dick move by our government".
He works for developers.
How about his plan to start filling in Lake Ontario?
I thought obesity was supposed to shorten lifespans, but North America is tormented by old fat fucks.
For reasons no one can actually state. Ford is running record deficits and has ballooned the debt, while cutting all services, and how many private jets did the Liberals order?
Boomers still go on about Bob Rae and having a Lesbian Premiere really triggered the hicks in Ontario.
We need two sets of laws for Ontario. In Toronto we want speed cameras, some roads closed to cars. I get that it's not an issue in N. Ontario. I'd even let 14 year olds drive in N. Ontario because of the distances, if we make people start by driving a small 1L car, before being allowed to buy an SUV in the Greater Toronto Area.
you can't buy a small 1L car in Ontario.
Still lots of used Smart Fortwo cars around.
Haven't made those in years. Pure garbage.
Great car for someone to learn to drive on, especially withing the City of Toronto.
