I was going to post about Doug Ford today on another topic today, but then I came across this video, yet another testament to his shameless lack of ethics and morality. It pertains to the recent announcement that Magna International will be the recipient of a $23 million Ford government grant for EV development despite this fact: The company has a net worth of $15.6 billion and has more than 200 locations worldwide, according to Forbes.
Oh, and one more thing. Ford's daughter, Kayla, works for Magna. Apparently, conflict of interest is a concept beyond the premier's ken.
Shameless -- and proud of it, Lorne.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't seem to have the capacity for shame, Owen. He would do Machiavelli proud.
DeleteLorne, it truly is a Brave New World. Now, take your Soma and it will make everything better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prescription, Mound. It sounds as good a solution as possible in the corrupted currents of this world.
Delete"IF" we all voted and "IF" we were all aware of current events it is possible the outcomes would be different.
ReplyDeleteFord only succeeds because the electorate is so fucking lazy as are the Alberta electorate that accept Daniel Smith with her overtures to the petrochemical industry with an eye for a position on the board of some tar sands company that we find ourselves disenchanted with politics.
Time to stop putting the blame on the elected and think about those that elected them!

I completely agree, TB. As a nation, our ignorance and laziness are the true enemies of a healthy democracy.
