Doug Ford announces snap election with ballots printed on backs of $200 cheques -- from The Beaverton
We have received our DEBCs -- Dougie Election Bribe Cheques -- and they didn't bounce. These government "rebate" cheques have been a challenge for some bank machines that read deposits. Maybe they're gagging on them.The Ontario government with Premier Doug Ford as its conniving leader has borrowed billions of dollars for this obvious pork-barrelling for the masses and eventually we the taxpayers will be required to pay it back, with interest.
We decided long before the cheques arrived that we would figure out how to benefit those in need of support with this nonsensical attempt at currying favour with the electorate -- oh, look, the Conservatives have called an election to get a strong mandate they already have! The satirical announcement from the The Beaverton is so clever.
We will support a couple of food and meal ministries because these are being squeezed to the limit just about everywhere in the province. The gap between haves and have-nots is growing without any cohesive plan by governments to address the crises of food insecurity and lack of housing. We're also looking at the environmental causes to which we contribute as well. Even though we haven't decided about where our vote will go other than ABC -- Anyone But Conservative -- we may make a contribution to the Green Party because this is the strongest voice for environmental issues.
In the last election the clear winner was the Apathy Party with just over 40% of Ontarians casting a vote, the lowest percentage ever in this province. As a Christian I feel it is my God-given responsibility to pay attention to governance and the party that will best represent the values I hold in the best interests of all Ontarians but especially for those who need a hand up, not just a hand-out.

To spend billions on this bribery is absurd when our health care is in such dire straits. Yes, there are people who need this $200, but for everyone to get it no matter what their income? How about earmark 2 of the 3 billion to healthcare, and the other 1 billion to those who really need this money. Doug was promising to address hospital wait times, but from what I've heard, the problem is only getting worse.
Thank you, Judy, and I totally agree, Roger -- even if you are misguided in rooting for the Eagles. I know that in the secret places of your heart you would welcome Mahomes as the Steelers QB.
