Ontario Premier Doug Ford exchanges barbs with Andrea Horwath in question period

[@jeboteya5489]

Horvath is just digging herself deeper and deeper and deeper lol

[@johnsmith-yf8vx]

just like a feminists .

[@grimmx]

Into what?

[@justinhutchings3290]

No one cares what Horwath has to say. Great work Doug.

[@himanbow]

Justin Hutchings You obviously don't understand how the science of politics actually work. Andrea Horwath (the leader of the opposition) keeps in check the governmental system for what a massive number of Ontarians that, in fact, did not vote for Doug Ford. The position of the leader of the opposition is there to remind the house of what the people who did not vote in the Premiere. The more seats the the opposition has, the more voice and more power they should hold. It would be the same if Andrea Horwath won and Doug Ford was the leader of the opposition. The winning party should never have 100% of the power as that is not how democracy works nor how it should ever work.

[@himanbow]

real living Again, please do your research before making your opinion. In the 2014 election, Liberals won a majority with 58 seats. NDP's who mostly supported the carbon tax won 21 seats and the PC's had 28 seats. That's a difference of around 50 seats. 2018, the PC's won with 76 seats, the NDP came out with 40 seats and the Liberals ended up with 7. That is a difference of only around 30 seats. The two opposition parties hold more power than the PC's did when the Carbon Tax was first introduced. Why be informed when you can just use your feelings as facts? Mhmm

[@dwaynewladyka577]

real living Like Mike Harris was doing for so long. Doug Ford is doing the same thing. You supported a Mike Harris clone.

[@mouradernest8196]

Justin Hutchings Tell this lady we don't like to hear her voice any more enough is enough go ahead ford we believe you and we support you Ford the best for ontario

[@paulyarek]

@Dwayne, You are kidding right? Mike straightened out a lot of crap.

[@jtmachete]

If the people of Ontario cared what Horgash had to say, she'd be the premier.

[@grimmx]

The people of Ontario voted for her to be the opposition, so you know, they care about what she has to say. You elected that glazed ham to be a premiere not a dictator.

[@terrymyre8815]

FORD FOR PRIMInisyer.

[@BTM866]

Doug Ford is coming in with one winning move after another.

[@JCooK2007]

Ben Yet the media is still going after him. Thank god people in this province are smart enough to know that his moves are important for the economy.

[@scotti.6433]

Josh, can't you spot sarcasm when it's plainly in front of you, Ben knows Ford is a neanderthal and clearly supports Horwath, and maybe you should too, it would surely be a far more intelligent move than any other option crawling under your table stealing your loose change.

[@mgesmalltownaerial2840]

Go Doug go

[@grimmx]

Ya Doug, go join your brother, go!

[@merlinkrisp3792]

The only one doing any bullying is the opposition leader

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Merlin Krisp The leader of the opposition did not reduce the size of Toronto's city council, during a municipal election campaign.

[@chrissutherland1587]

city council is far to big and far too divided, in my opinion he should fire even more politicians. I agree with merlin, she's the only bully

[@johnsmith-yf8vx]

agreed . she is pissed cause she did not win .

[@a.salmon8193]

Merlin Krisp being in opposition is the easiest job in politics. She's really suffering from sour grapes. And she's nasty.

[@grimmx]

It is the easiest job, that's why the brain dead conservatives held it for so long, and why they'll be back there soon enough.

[@VitoAnthonyD.-ow7oo]

Horvat doesn't speak a word for me and I'm from Hamilton. Democracy works just fine. That's why she isn't sitting in the Premiere's chair.

[@Blazethebest3]

Vito Anthony D. Hey fellow Hamiltonian and im with you shes a useless shrew

[@VitoAnthonyD.-ow7oo]

Nice to meet you, Blazethebest3.

[@johnsmith-yf8vx]

thx god for that . nice to have a human in power for ounce .

[@Danterag5]

I'm so disappointed in Andrea Horwath... Jack Laytons NDP is dead; this member does not care about provincial issues.

[@grimmx]

Layton was leader of the Federal NDP, are you thinking of Howard Hampton? Are you sad that Howard Hampton's NDP is dead? Even though it got its highest vote count in over a decade, and put her party in second place as opposition?

[@Danterag5]

Ducking Nope, I'm thinking of Jack Layton.

[@masterofnone4951]

Ducking , the only reason they got the vote count and claimed opposition status is the fact the liberals got flushed and all the fools had no one else to vote for. This fool Horwath is riding all high and mighty based upon the fact that she ranked one better than a spoiled ballot.

[@agapmenos]

Andrea is such an embarassment. Like how can you lose 3 times and still pretend that people take you seriously? Sad

[@canadianwelder3899]

We elected him to save money not waste it on to much government

[@toti6656]

People of Ontario have spoking. . What part she don't understand.

[@johnsmith-yf8vx]

all of it .

[@toti6656]

LOL

[@grimmx]

The people of Ontario are still speaking, be quiet and listen

[@toti6656]

Majority have spoke , to bad you don't like it.

[@supermuckles]

Does she ever change the record. What narrow minded individual. Same rhetoric all the time.

[@grimmx]

So you're saying she was narrow mindedly talking about these councilor cuts before they were announced less than a week ago? Yes that must be a hell of a broken record, that has never repeated before this instances....

[@ramjetejmar]

Don't worry Andrea, people see exactly what Doug is doing and they like it. Move around the province and speak to people, you might learn something. The socialist/communist surrounding you are not living in the real world.

[@grimmx]

No we don't. Why are you speaking for the province? 60% of it voted against that Glazed Ham

[@eulhavoc]

We got the majority and the most votes though, too bad!

[@ramjetejmar]

I'm speaking for the province because Mr. Ford is the Premier of the province, whether you like it or not. And why would you call him a Glazed Ham. I didn't call Ms. Horwath any name, you know, like a dimwitted socialist twit.

[@Theseus9-cl7ol]

Go Doug Ford!

[@grimmx]

Go join your brother Doug Ford!

[@freedombarbie]

Doug Ford is a boss. Hogwash is a ninny!

[@johnsmith-yf8vx]

LOL hogwash LOL good one

[@hondavteksir]

pretty sure her first name is Karen

[@bobbydaniel665]

Horwath is always asked to withdraw. You can tell she has a personal issue with Ford. Her true colours are being shown the last few days.

[@concernedparent5646]

Doug Ford is exactly what Ontario and the rest of Canada needs. Keep it going, Dougie.

[@concernedparent5646]

I used to have respect for Ms Horwath ; it is now completely destroyed.

[@nicholasdobrowsky3744]

[@kellywolfe2405]

Who else think horwath is a real life version of Marcy Darcy?

[@dondonliu2459]

People elected Doug to do exactly what he is doing, NDP only care politicians job, Doug Ford care about peoples job.

[@philipchampigny4678]

looks good on ya andrea thanks ontario for not voting for her

[@hellmutgumz2186]

Dougie Ford is the fricken best !

[@gohabsgo60]

Andrea is completely out to lunch on what the people of Ontario want. There's a reason why she lost by a landslide. Keep up the good work Mr. Ford.

[@grimmx]

Is she out of touch? She won second place by a landslide, seems like Ontario wants to hear her after all.

[@jordapen]

The population of the 25 ridings are far more equally distributed than the 47 ward system.

[@R4PTORZWIN]

They purposely made it so the 47 are not currently distributed but will be distributed in the future due to growth. It was a way of saving money from having to redraw the lines every couple of years.

[@himanbow]

Philip Carrasca Not only that, imagine having well over 100k people calling you when they have something to say about the government. The huge increase of citizens that one representative is taking on is insane.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Lucas Bowman So many trolls and children with fake profiles commenting on here. There are grammatical errors which make it obvious. Their comments are way off base. They are clueless. That also is a giveaway. Why doesn't Doug Ford reduce the size of other city councils in Ontario? Why doesn't he reduce the number of MLAs Ontario has, including MLAs in his own party? Doug Ford has done this Toronto council reduction out of spite, for the way his brother Rob was treated. Reducing the number of councillors Toronto has will only save around $25 million, over 4 years and compound problems. The citizens will have a tougher time getting things dealt with. The people of Ontario that voted for Doug Ford, and the Tories (PCs), voted in a Mike Harris clone. Mike Harris disdained democracy and his bad policies harmed many people. That explains why the Tories (PCs) took so long to get back into power in Ontario. Ontario used to have good Tory (PC) governments. That was before the 1990s.

[@googleplay9522]

MUST READ! @Philip Carrasca I'm not so sure I follow your statement but here's my comment following my understanding. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The problem here is that no one with their streight mind would hire someone for a job that needs to be fulfilled in years from now because it's a total nonsense. Would you? Let's say you own a successful restaurant and you currently need 5 cooks. You expect that in 2 years, you will maybe need 10 cooks. Will you hire them now? Cheers

[@R4PTORZWIN]

There was consultation, which I believe was lengthy, to determine ward boundaries and the number of wards. So there's the decision, for where to draw the lines, and how many wards are needed. But also, there's the issue when changing the number of wards. It's a really big process changing election boundaries. There are many rules of follow. For example the boundaries need to have equal representation. They have to give notice to residence. They have to prepare the ballots, dates, locations ect. So it's a lengthy and expensive process, according to councillors to change the wards. So when they were doing the study, it didn't make sense to determine the best boundaries that day, because they would be implemented in 2019. So it instead of drawing up boundaries for 2019, then having to do the whole process over for 2022. They made the boundaries for 2022, so they don't have to do the process all over again.

[@charlescaruana967]

I see a Leader who is doing his job...Ford Nation, we are represented!

[@MrCraigBlake]

Doug Ford is doing an amazing job cleaning up his province and working for the interest of the voters of Ontario. He is also an inspiration for all Canadians. Andrea is pissed because she wanted to make Ontario a sanctuary province to harbour criminals and say screw the voters of Ontario. If she was concerned for the voters of Ontario like she claims, she wouldn't have considered making Ontario a Sactuary province. Keep up the good work Doug!

[@CS-bu2xq]

Great work this far Mr. Ford please keep it up

[@hu6284]

Doug is petty and should worry about Hamilton city council instead of ruining our great city.

[@HavendaleBlvd80]

The people see a Premier making moves to improve the decision making process to save the tax payer money. Toronto City Hall is a nightmare.

[@bandrews5154]

PC Government finally, bye bye handouts and self consumed politicians with no one challenging their past actions, democratic Ontario showed and elected a leader whom is going to make future politicians work for their jobs. For the people of Ontario, kick butt and clean house of all the overpaid deadweight.

[@gvukster]

"He's barging his way," finally a politician who's moving forward fast.

[@grimmx]

The faster he barges forward to join his brother, the better

[@gvukster]

Ducking, um, yeah, okay. Well enjoy the long weekend... I know I will be enjoying my time up North with my family. Cheers

[@Bo-qv4ez]

Does she EVER do anything besides being a bully and complaining! Hamilton voted her in, when is she going to help Hamiltonian's. She should be fixing Hamilton.

[@grimmx]

Hamiltonians repeatedly keep voting her in because they like what shes doing for them. Obviously you are in the minority

[@masterofnone4951]

Ducking , maybe those in your ‘state’, how about asking the voters around you that pay for everything thru their property taxes.

[@rickbranco6884]

Mr Doug you should go to Hamilton with a camera crew and ask ppl on the street what they think about government size, maybe opposition need proof what citizens think and on which side they are your or Horvath

[@grimmx]

Wow an ignorant Hamiltonian, I never thought I'd see the day. To clarify for the simple folk of Hamilton, the council cut and ward gerrymandering is only being done to Toronto, so why would anyone go ask Hamilton about it?

[@daman8906]

NDP is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

[@grimmx]

Are they? Were they campaigning on cutting councilors and now are against it? I must have missed that part of the campaign, do you have youtube clips that show the hypocrisy?

[@jasondelaney527]

I'm not a lawyer, but isn't there some sort of a law regarding slanderous speech? Shouldn't something happen when someone says something like that without proof?

[@johnsmith-yf8vx]

not in that place . places like that and the house of commies ( yes i call them commies in Ottawa cause that is Wat they are ) u cant get in trouble with saying stuff like that without proff .

[@grimmx]

Yes, we can clearly see your not a lawyer, or much of anything

[@jasondelaney527]

Ducking Yeah, how about you educate us? Perhaps you can bless everyone with your obvious enlightenment?

[@masterofnone4951]

Jason Delaney nope he/she can’t do that. Just another socialist troll with hurt feelings after realizing that they will never get ‘everything’ they’re owed by society.

[@smcgrath6987]

It's Andrea Horwath that doesn't understand democracy!

[@Mike-ui6sn]

Andrea Horwath is so childish and inmature. She in no way sounds professional at all. She's pouting because the majority did NOT want to vote for her.

[@hdguppies]

The fact that they think this is the biggest issue tells you something.

[@SirLouisTheThird]

Thank you Doug Ford keep it up buddy😁

[@benala5135]

I don't see any politician's sitting behind leaders of opposition party like herself !! Premier Ford start & go ahead before it is too late. Fulfill your promises. Make the government smaller save money work for Ontario and see people will support you .actions .actions instead of taking. people really suffering wit high taxing. High gas prices and in general from everything's.

[@grimmx]

He made promises? I'm still waiting to see that platform... what did you hear he planned to do?

No Andrea that's where you're right honey that's where you're right it's up to all of us to choose and all of us as City sense of Ontario have a right to choose smaller government you're lucky you still have your job because if I was there sitting in front of you right now I would fire you

How much money do the people make sitting behind the leaders cheerleading?...hopefully ford cleans house on that

[@drdecker1]

Get used to it Andrea. The fact that Premier Ford doesn't let the NDP know anything is the best thing that could ever happen to Ontario. Just like the allied forces didn't let Hitler know anything that was going on during the war. Helped them conquer and defeat this moron. You should get the picture now Andrea. When this new government does new things. It's to protect the best interests of the Ontario people who put him in power. Great things will come because of this strategy !
