Doug Ford and the Harperite Conspiracy



It was a scene I never thought I would see in Canada. It could only happen in Doug Ford's Ontario.

And it can only be called fascism.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government has tabled legislation that uses the Constitution’s notwithstanding clause to push through a bill slashing Toronto council in half because of a judge’s decision earlier this week to strike down the law because it violates the rights to free expression and to elect effective representation.

With the official opposition being expelled from the legislature, old people being led away in handcuffs, and the bestial Ford acting like Big Brother.
