@evdelen@mstdn.ca When a friend first saw a headline talking about this Ford pet project, she thought it was satire--a highway under the highway.
Sadly, Doug would just need to say, "Folks, this is part of our made-in-Ontario Canada First plan. We gotta get 'er done!" and he'd be re-elected in a landslide.

@daraghhayes@mstdn.ca I don't know.
The only reason Ford is not further down in the polls is because there is no election in the horizon.
He already disingenuously played his hand to secure a majority at a time when people were highly distracted and anxious. His team knows that his policies are, in fact, deeply unpopular, and they're continuing their strategy of trickling them out slowly enough that they don't garner more attention than what is going on south of the border.
Trump is the perfect gift of distraction for the likes of Ford, Danielle Smith, and all the other administrations that are trying to privatize public services, socialize private losses, and play defence for companies that are mistreating the public! He consumes so much of the presses oxygen that there is nothing left for examination of their actions.
