    It’s not hard to find yourself agreeing with the things DF says in public once in a while. That’s exactly what he’s trying to accomplish. He’s a skilled politician and he’s good at getting his face out and generating positive press when he’s not actually doing anything.

    When he’s speaking in private and the actions he takes as Premier are a lot more damning.

      Exactly this. DoFo is a populist, through and through. He will do whatever’s popular to keep himself in power, and also do more than most modern populists to make some people second guess their impression of him. This is why we must look at his policies to know what he really is.

      when he’s not actually doing anything.

      Exactly. He did nothing to try and prevent these jobs from going. So stupid stunts like this endear him to Ontario while he signs secret deals with tens of billions of tax dollars.

      or my recent favorite: banning medical research on dogs, a year after he re-opened licences on penned hunting. And the media gives him a pass every time…not one mentioning Banting and Best discovered insulin in dog models.

      I went to school with this cunt and his cunty family, AMA.
