Ending tenant protections and rent control will destroy the Tory party in the GTA in the next election.

He's dumb, but surely to fuck not that dumb.

Yup, he might gain some short-term applause from investors, but the math doesn’t work in his favor long-term. For every investor, there are several renters and many of them vote. In the GTA especially, renters make up nearly half the population, and housing affordability is already a political landmine.

If the opposition parties have any sense, they’ll hammer this issue relentlessly because ending tenant protections or rent control isn’t just bad optics, it’s political suicide in a region where affordability is the #1 concern.

No party can match the $103 million of Ontario money that DoFo spends on advertising.

You love that fat, squat, no-necked, crocodile-armed, loud-mouthed, corrupt-to-the-bone, Trumpian-like creature in the PInk Palace so much so, that you have been licking him like a lollipop since his 1st vindictive act in office.

And you still love him as Captain Canada 10%Tariff.

How about that, an extra 10% tariff all because of that corrupt, vindictive, incompetent fat fuck.

He has to got to stay in his fuckin lane.

Stop meddling, muddling and messing about in civic, regional and national issues and for fuck sakes stop with the corruption ALL, ALL, ALL benefitting developers and private and corporate interests.

Anby, Squee is no fan of Duggo and would vote Liberal if there was a viable provincial Liberal party in this province.

You need to control your obsessive hatred of Duggo. Maybe calm yourself by chanting "Sankofa Square" 300 times to a photograph of Mayor Chow and you might feel better.

This will be devastating for Ontarians.
Ford finding new and creative ways to make life more miserable for people.
Thanks for posting this. A devastating ripple effect will follow, allowing landlords to raise existing rental prices, evict tenants, and add to the epidemic of homelessness.

Another attack on hard-working Canadians who are struggling to get by with increased costs and ill-advised government programs designed to benefit the plutocracy.

Another article on the topic.

Hopefully this idea is sent to the same hell of absurd Duggo horseshit as his proposal to dig a new underground highway under the 401.
Also, the same absurd Duggo/Mandrill horseshit pile as his bike lane removal and ASE proclamations, huh?

Speaking of horseshit, eh?

Squee, has been licking Captain 10% Tariff's lollipop dipped body since the Thug's 1st vindictive act on the 1st day and in the 1st minute of his enshrinement as the Poop-bah of the Pink Palace.

Speaking of control, howz dat zillion self-posts thread with a gagillion exclamations of self-outrage and hatred of the Orange marmalade south of the board going?

When it comes to municipal politics, issues and affairs you are as clueless as your hero Thuggo.

I am surprised no one mentioned this.
I thought this idea comes from the developers. The same that own land next to the new highway.

I doubt he really won the elections. I say it was rigged.

NYC has issue with rent control and here will be worse. Future enslavement.

Like Squeezer, I'm pretty meh about the Duggler and would vote for an alternative.

You just can't follow other members' posts and understand them, Amby. Maybe some politically correct remedial reading and comprehension course would assist you?

You mean that thread with over 600,000 views?

I have a viewership of about 5k a day for that thread. It is the most popular thread on TERB and will surpass a million views by Xmas.

Your weekend not going as well as you hoped, Anby?

You seem very angry today.

I just figure he's going to hand out billion $$$$ "consultants" contracts to his bagmen to "advise" him on the ludicrous new highway idea that will never be started, let alone built.

I would never lick another man's Lollipop, TAKE THAT BACK!!!!! :mad:

I voted for Ms. Wynn on Dougie for go--around and I couldn't stand his style but he's toned it down since. Plus he makes me very happy when he bashes the yahoos. Now, present me with a viable Liberal leader with a winnable platform and I can easily be swayed away from Dougie.
