Ford's a thorn in Scheer's rear

Cuts are good. Cuts are great.

Like a teenager with a brand new car who thinks he will save money by not getting oil changes.
It is easy to see why the Cons support cuts to education. God save us from stupid people who vote.

Justin and the Liberals are so desperate, screaming "Harper" has gotten them nowhere so now they scream "Ford" to see if they can get something to stick. Ford has nothing to do with this Federal Election and Justin Blackface looks desperate and pathetic.

Yup. Last time they screamed "HARPER" and yelled "We'll be a different kind of government". Well we have seen they are not a better government they lie, steal, cheat, and are even more corrupt so now they just keep yelling "Harper"...and added Ford. Sadly it may work, but it's pretty pathetic strategy.

Why not actually be better?

No, he looks like the Skipper
I grow tired of seeing Harpers name all the time, he is yesterday's news

If your prayer comes true, the NDP and Greens won't get one single vote.

Despite the Conservatives throwing blackface dirt at Trudeau, the Ontario polling numbers haven't changed much, thanks largely to Fordfear in Ontario.

So this week, Scheer doubles down an announces that he'll open a criminal investigation into Justin after the election. We saw this kinda thing from Donald Trump in 2016. "Lock him up, lock him up" when there was really nothing to dig into. The SNC Lavalin affair has seen jail time for some of the principals. One for 51 months and another for 39 months.

It was Time Magazine, not the Conservatives, but don't let the truth get in the way of yet another nonsensical rant.

Did you actually read what Scheer said? try to get the facts straight before posting?

More bad news for Scheer.....

Ford’s failures cast a shadow over Scheer

Another day, another problem with Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government.

Whether it’s ridiculous stickers that don’t stick, high school students who can’t get the math classes they need for university because of education cuts, or autism program fixes that make things worse, Ontarians are used to this by now.

But when it happens in the middle of a federal election campaign it’s not just another Ford failure. It’s a problem for Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer.

That’s why they’re trying so hard to keep Ford under wraps. But try as they might, the premier’s shadow is hard to hide. Just this week Ontario’s independent Financial Accountability Office released a report detailing how far short Ford’s tax credit comes to meeting the affordability promises he made to Ontarians.

That’s a particular problem for Scheer since he’s pitching the same “I’ll make your life more affordable” lines that Ford used in last year’s Ontario election. And Scheer is reading from the same failed playbook on how to improve access to child care and help families with the staggering costs. ...............


Up to” always covers a lot of ground. But in this case fewer than 300 families in the entire province will reap those big dollar benefits, according to the FAO report.

For everyone else who qualifies (most families don’t) the average is $1,300. It’s not paying 75 per cent of child care costs but a meagre 10 per cent. Two-thirds of the tax benefit goes to families with above-median incomes, not the low and modest income families Ford claimed it would help the most. It will have far too little impact on getting more women into the workforce.

And it will cost $460 million a year – or $70 million more than Ford claimed or budgeted for.

PC's programs are always for the richer families and the middle class and the poor gets left behind.

Is Ford running in the federal election now? Did he get caught in makeup like Justin Blackface?

[floppi]

Where is he by the way? I think Scheer's Conservatives told him to scram because he is wrecking their campaign. Maybe you can ask him to come out of his rabbit hole and saying something about how the wonderful his Conservative party is treating the people of Ontario.......and that if Scheer is elected PM of Canada, he will do exactly what Ford is doing to his Province.

Well here's the thing, Ford made himself scarce for the campaign - not his choice.
If Scheer sees Ford as a thorn or bum leg, why can't you?

[1791]

Fired 20 some useless city counclimen. Always will be a hero to millions for that.

35 million Canadains. 400 thousand bureaucrats. This is disgusting.

It is easy to see why the Libs support the current education system. God save us from stupid people who vote

I find it far more interesting how much Liberal candidates are distancing themselves from their Blackfaced leader. In 2015 all we heard about was how they were running on "Trudeau's team", and now you don't see the dirty word "Trudeau" on any campaign signs anywhere. Rob Ford may be causing some heart-burn, but the Trudeau brand is so toxic it makes ebola look good right now. Where are you Justin? Other than marching in climate parades protesting your own government??? What a maroon.
