Julien Lauzon I take it you were one of the many that were living off the avails of others as afforded to you by the previous Liberal administration. I am truly sorry, you feel so disenfranchised that you feel it necessay to vent your frustrations in such a vile and uncouth manner!
Space Cat So no one can criticise? I guess you don't believe in accountability or democracy? Are you Canadian or a Russian trying to cause division? Who do you work for? Ford works for Ontarians., even the majority of voters who did not vote for him. So perhaps you can "get over it".
joe lukasik looks like you're the one spinning. Check your facts. Most voters did NOT vote for Ford. He's the one who is Premier, and needs to be held accountable. If you are against democracy than leave Canada because Ontario is a democracy and not Russia, comrade.
She needs to get a new tune. It’s getting old her constantly pointing out how many people of Ontario didn’t vote for Ford. Doesn’t she realize how many more people did NOT vote for her??
Espjh600ah Wrong!!! Actually Mr. Ford only got 40 percent of the vote, but because of "first past the post" and weighted representation from rural areas, and NOT the popular vote, we are stuck with the same situation as the USA, being ruled over dictatorship-like by someone even dumber than Trump. She is exactly right in her assessment of this man's vendetta against the people of Toronto who didn't vote for him on this election and the last municipal election.
Andrea Horwath voted for the Green Energy Act, which stripped municipalities of their planning rights concerning green energy projects. That was an assault on democracy.
Lefties are ok when they do the same as their opponent. When the opponent does the same, then it's a problem. So, the leftist way is "do as I say, but don't do as I do".
People can see the true colours of Horwath, This its her solution, spend spend more spending. Thats the reason Ontario have 350 BILLION dept. Guess who its going to pay for it. Not Horwath.
The slop stopped hitting the trough four years ago, now they are squaling because their last master stopped feeding them after they tried to backstab them.
Toronto CIty Hall has been incompetent starting with David Crombie, Eggleton, Sewall, and the cancelling of the Spadina Expressway which denied the city of a mid town expressway which makes or breaks a city from being cosmopolitcan. There is no way to get into the heart of this city at high speed. So this city lacks a backbone spine and it therefore dysfunctional and paraplegic in structure. It is a city in a wheel chair and will be doomed to such without a midtown expressway.
Robert James Chinnery Let me help you, the commenter said "make changes to the electoral system". Altering government structures on a whim is a dangerous slope and I know you may feel that I'm exaggerating on this, but this is usually one of the first steps to creating a totalitarian government. If you control the government you control the people. Another early step is discrediting journalism. (Aka "fake news".) He's doing very scary things.
Doe Ramee Child, or troll, mosques have been in Alberta and in Canada for decades. So have churches, synagogues and other places of worship. There is nothing illegal about them.
Jerry Robitaille The children with the fake profiles and the trolls are sure out in full force, posting illogical comments. They should get milk and cookies from their mommies, as a reward, for their persistence to troll.
Doesn't matter if people left or right,we have to be honest. Toronto is not not safe city, poor transportation, more homeless each corner of city with many diseases .
Yeah and what’s justin trudeau doing? Putting illegal immigrants into homeless shelters that our Canadian homeless people could use, and then putting immigrants in college dorms evacuating people who paid thousands for those rooms, and now they’re being moved to hotel rooms. That us the taxpayers have to pay for
Maria.... thank you.....Horwath bring back Winn..... GOD BLESS Mr. DOUG FORD..... keep your combat, you will clean CANADA, before to be destroyed....like President DONALD TRUMP, ..... HARRASSED, TORMENTED, ANNOYED NON STOP, BY DEMO-RATS.....WHILE THE BUNCH OF CRIMINALS, TRAITORS, LIERS, SELLING THE COUNTRY, STILL FREE, NO ARRESTATION, - BIZARRE.....IS THERE SOME HUMAINS BEING STAND UP....AND SAVE THEIR COUNTRIES...?? Regine.
Horwath was forced by the Speaker to withdraw 3 of her questions (due to unacceptable wording) in less than 15 minutes. That must be some sort of a record for a leader of the official opposition in the history of the Westminster parliamentary system. The woman is obviously clueless.
How is it robbing voters of their voice? He's not changing it to 0 city councillors....he's changing it 25. That's 25 people voters get to vote for and pick. Doug is right....horwarth needs to get new material.
Thank You Doug Ford! Please shrink this government some more. Andrea Horwath was very reliant on her notes and she really didn't have a substantive argument.
As well, some food for thought... Los Angeles California (Population 3.976 million) has 15 city councillors... Toronto (Population 2.8 million) has 47 city councillors
A key component of the ward review was--"Make sure the number of people in each ward is similar." The census figures for the 47 ward distribution shows a low of 28,665 in Ward 21and 72,620 in Ward 18. Toronto failed to be fair and follow their own objective. Ford has done the right thing for democracy.
Ummm I thought the whole reason Toronto was amalgamated was to reduce the size of the municipal governments. It has only been 20 years. Finally someone is actually doing something about it!
Well, let's try running the city of Toronto with 25 councillors. We have tried it with 44 and it was not working all that well. Politicians must understand government needs downsizing, restructuring just like a business does from time to time. Taxpayers like a Premier that saves money instead of borrowing more and more and increasing taxes all the time.
Does anyone remember when they counted the homeless in the mid-90's and spent 88000 to tally each person on the streets in Canada , over 1.2 billion spent ?
WHY is Doug Ford then FOCUSING ON JUST Toronto??? Why NOT OTHER cities??? Of COURSE there is a vendetta...it’s “payback” plain and simple. The people are NOT stupid. WE KNOW what’s going on here. Let THE PEOPLE decide and let THEM VOTE.
Comparing LA to toronto is like comparing apples to grapes these are two different types of government and if you look it up you'll see what i mean. So please reconsider what you are doing before it's all screwed up.
with cutting salaries of politicians (aka people representatives) Ford can build roads, lower taxes, backlog the housing, no more homeless people..... and list goes. he makes it look like all the country problems has been because of paying these 20 people.
I say don’t judge Doug ford until he has done something that needs to be judge. If he does the right thing for Ontario taxes payers and not the politicians I say way to go!! Finally someone who listens to the people not the hunger powered buttheads that are in office and most who sit on their fat asses and complain about someone else actually trying to do the right thing about the actual people who work for a living!!
(3) more months of listening to Andrea Horwath ... and everyone in Ontario will realize how LOONY Andrea is, ... and be so fortunate they didn't vote her in !!
Mr. Ford, you are truly a great man! I am truly proud to say that I have voted for you!
Julien Lauzon I take it you were one of the many that were living off the avails of others as afforded to you by the previous Liberal administration. I am truly sorry, you feel so disenfranchised that you feel it necessay to vent your frustrations in such a vile and uncouth manner!
Warming Planet We will see! However, the people have spoken and the word is Tory Blue. We will speak again in 2022.
He is great. Whether or not we are able to reduce spending but at least he tried his best and cares about the tax payers money
Way to go Doug... Right On!
The PEOPLE VOTED, get over it!
Most Ontarians voted against Ford.
We surely didnt vote for him to change toronto city council.
Space Cat So no one can criticise? I guess you don't believe in accountability or democracy? Are you Canadian or a Russian trying to cause division? Who do you work for? Ford works for Ontarians., even the majority of voters who did not vote for him. So perhaps you can "get over it".

they made amistake obviously and voter turnout very low

Sheila M. Street Oh the bitter Left. Thank goodness for that 40 percent. You go Mr. Ford!!

Horwath... you sound just like a dictator!!! Justin is the dictator of peoplekind!
Doug Ford is doing the right thing
I'm with ford
Say what you want about Ford's weight but the real piggies are squealing because the slop has stopped hitting the trough.
The slop stopped hitting the trough four years ago, now they are squaling because their last master stopped feeding them after they tried to backstab them.

Just imagine folks, the media was predicting this woman winning, and hoping for it.
Let Torontonians pay for the extra councilors with their property taxes then, Why should the rest of Ontario pay for Toronto perks anyways.
LMAO... Toronto is the reason why Ontario has any money.
Confederation ;)
It's refreshing to see someone with a spine in politics
No politician should have the power to make changes to the electoral system period; That should always be decided by the people via a referendum.
Blair B what's done by referendum? We are flooded by border jumpers and going broke. Did you vote for that.?

"Leader Of The Opposition, you won't ever have to worry about acting like a leader."
MIC. DROP.
MORE Power to U Doug Ford 🙏. From Fort McMurray 💒💒❤️
Elisapeta Ludlow Fort McMurray, that says it all.
From QC well done ON..

aaa alberta the conservative divisive province
The People of Ontario spoke....we want less Government in our lives.
Thx God Horwath did not win.
She already failed 2 times before at elections. Why would she win now?
It makes me love Doug even more.
Doesn't matter if people left or right,we have to be honest. Toronto is not not safe city, poor transportation, more homeless each corner of city with many diseases .
Yeah and what’s justin trudeau doing? Putting illegal immigrants into homeless shelters that our Canadian homeless people could use, and then putting immigrants in college dorms evacuating people who paid thousands for those rooms, and now they’re being moved to hotel rooms.

Dumb. Blame Trudeau
Andrea Horwath should read the comment for a change! Change that tune Andrea, We have had enough of you already!
Maria.... thank you.....Horwath bring back Winn..... GOD BLESS Mr. DOUG FORD..... keep your combat, you will clean CANADA, before to be destroyed....like President DONALD TRUMP, .....
HARRASSED, TORMENTED, ANNOYED NON STOP, BY DEMO-RATS.....WHILE THE BUNCH OF CRIMINALS, TRAITORS, LIERS, SELLING THE COUNTRY, STILL FREE, NO ARRESTATION, - BIZARRE.....IS THERE SOME HUMAINS BEING STAND UP....AND SAVE THEIR COUNTRIES...?? Regine.
Does andrea know that the intensity of yelling doesn't correlate with being correct?
It's the leftist screech, yelling so your opponent can't be heard
Or as I like to call it, what caused Charlottesville.
NDP are done .Doug Ford for PM!!!!!
Horwath was forced by the Speaker to withdraw 3 of her questions (due to unacceptable wording) in less than 15 minutes. That must be some sort of a record for a leader of the official opposition in the history of the Westminster parliamentary system. The woman is obviously clueless.
I agree, make government smaller
The PEOPLE VOTED, get over it! never NDP
Ms Andrea Horwath...please pick battles you can win rather than look silly with policies that the people don't want.
Good job Ford ! hes no push over nor is he a liar.
How is it robbing voters of their voice? He's not changing it to 0 city councillors....he's changing it 25. That's 25 people voters get to vote for and pick. Doug is right....horwarth needs to get new material.
If Horwath had a clue she would be Premier and not opposition trouble maker !!!
o_O
From an admittedly uninformed Scotsman.... Do you guys find this Horwath woman *extremely* irritating?
Ford for P.M
Thank You Doug Ford! Please shrink this government some more. Andrea Horwath was very reliant on her notes and she really didn't have a substantive argument.
You're the one showing contempt for the people of Ontario, Andrea.
Ford Slaughtered Horvath in this exchange... Embarrassingly
Ford for Prime Minister
As well, some food for thought... Los Angeles California (Population 3.976 million) has 15 city councillors... Toronto (Population 2.8 million) has 47 city councillors
Great point Mike..
DOUG FORD is there for the people and he will be there for a long time and the other party should be looking for another job
so funny to hear a NDP say democracy . Thank you Doug & the PC team for thinking about THE PEOPLE not POLITICIANS.
She sure is loud!
Go get them PC and Doug! You are all doing a great job for Ontario!
when are we going to stop listening to hysterical female authority figures?
A key component of the ward review was--"Make sure the number of people in each ward is similar." The census figures for the 47 ward distribution shows a low of 28,665 in Ward 21and 72,620 in Ward 18. Toronto failed to be fair and follow their own objective. Ford has done the right thing for democracy.
To add to that new york has 8mil and 50 counselors while b4 we were at 47 and pretty much 3mil ppl in toronto 😂😂
Ndp need to be educated on being professional.. they act like a rabble of kids
Doug keep doing what is best for Ontario, ignore the wind bag Horwath.
Let’s see what the investigation on wynne comes to fruition
Like Hamilton's city council Horwath, nothing gets done!
Smaller council size will mean the councillors will want to be paid more
It's going to a very long 4 years hearing this class 1 Harpy squawking the same question and not listening to the answer!
Ford is just what Ontario needs.
Aged like Milk
YES DOUG!!!! SHOW THE COMMIES WHO'S BOSS ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
get used to Horrorhouse's empty accusations and Doug's solid responses for the people
ThankYou Doug.. ndp and liberals are DONE
Andrea give it up. The people have spoken! Doug 👍
Let's Go Dougie !!! Make Ontario Great Again
We need Doug Ford PM in Alberta
Ford Nation keep up the good work! Great job!
I had my doubts, but Doug Ford is going to be a great politician. Go get 'em tiger!
Ummm I thought the whole reason Toronto was amalgamated was to reduce the size of the municipal governments. It has only been 20 years. Finally someone is actually doing something about it!
the Comment Section is almost entirely Ford supporters wow! Go PC!
Man i Love Ford! The next Priminister!
THANK GOD FOR DOUG FORD. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DOUG.
Ford is just what Ontario need!
Horwad send to space , and send idlers on the guarries.
Andrea: "Why does this premier have no idea how to act like a premier"
Doug: "You won't ever have to worry about acting like a leader"
Atta boy Doug!
Thank goodness for Doug! NDP would be a nightmare...
Well, let's try running the city of Toronto with 25 councillors. We have tried it with 44 and it was not working all that well. Politicians must understand government needs downsizing, restructuring just like a business does from time to time. Taxpayers like a Premier that saves money instead of borrowing more and more and increasing taxes all the time.
Go Canadian Trump go!
Ford said he'd reduce hydro rates and lower the price of beer, I'm in. :))
Go for it Doug! Horwath is boring and banal.
Does anyone remember when they counted the homeless in the mid-90's and spent 88000 to tally each person on the streets in Canada , over 1.2 billion spent ?
WHY is Doug Ford then FOCUSING ON JUST Toronto??? Why NOT OTHER cities??? Of COURSE there is a vendetta...it’s “payback” plain and simple. The people are NOT stupid. WE KNOW what’s going on here. Let THE PEOPLE decide and let THEM VOTE.
OMG, what kind of opposition did we get?
Bravo Major Ford !!!!
Love you!!!!💪
We have a democracy Andrea. And Ontario is BLUE because of it. You are lucky you still have a job at all.
Dougie! Dougie! Dougie!
Comparing LA to toronto is like comparing apples to grapes these are two different types of government and if you look it up you'll see what i mean. So please reconsider what you are doing before it's all screwed up.
with cutting salaries of politicians (aka people representatives) Ford can build roads, lower taxes, backlog the housing, no more homeless people..... and list goes. he makes it look like all the country problems has been because of paying these 20 people.
Can you imagine Andrea as premier. Mr Ford is doing what the people want , what a nice change .
LOL, she's 10 times the control-freak as he. Politicians make me ill. I wish I could fire them all.
I wonder if Horwath would fight this hard for tax relief for taxpayers. Or does she only care about having more politicians to waste taxpayers money.
Love it Ford! Clean a couple out of Hamilton while your at it
The leader of the opposition has no idea how to act, her own words aren't acceptable in the house...
Funny person in general
She keeps talking about secret back rooms...
keep up the good work Doug
I didn't know the Predator was NDP.
Can someone teach Andrea horwath about democracy.
I say don’t judge Doug ford until he has done something that needs to be judge. If he does the right thing for Ontario taxes payers and not the politicians I say way to go!! Finally someone who listens to the people not the hunger powered buttheads that are in office and most who sit on their fat asses and complain about someone else actually trying to do the right thing about the actual people who work for a living!!
Attacking someone with no evidence is blatently being a bully.
(3) more months of listening to Andrea Horwath
... and everyone in Ontario will realize how LOONY Andrea is, ... and be so fortunate they didn't vote her in !!
Praise Lord for the HONOURABLE DOUG FORD!!
Gravy train has to stop go mr ford
The hidden agenda card give me a break.
Wow Doug is showing Her where her dinner hangs ,😘
What was with that woman's hair behind Andrea? How unprofessional.
YEEEEEEEEESSSS! DOUG FORD!!!!!!!
I can't believe Andrea is arguing this point... in the NDP out of their minds?
Awesome Doug!
His right....it's all goooood. ..
