The survey, conducted exclusively for Global News, suggests if the election were held tomorrow the PCs would form a third majority governmen

The Progressive Conservatives hold the largest lead recorded for a party since “the turn of the century,” a new poll has found, with Doug Ford well out in front of the rest at the start of Ontario’s snap election campaign. The survey, conducted exclusively for Global News by Ipsos Public Affairs, suggests if the election were held tomorrow the PCs would form a third consecutive majority government, with greater support than both the NDP and Liberal votes combined. Fifty per cent of decided and leaning voters said they would cast a ballot for the Progressive Conservatives, while 24 per cent would choose the Liberals. The Ontario NDP polled at 20 per cent, with the Greens at six per cent.

Ford’s PC government are a bunch of lying liars who lie - pt 1

So our new premier Doug Ford and his PC party recently cancelled the Basic Income Pilot:

https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2018/07/31/ontario-basic-income-pilot-cancelled-by-minister-lisa-macleod_a_23493366/

Not only is this a shameful, irresponsible thing to do (you can’t tell people they will have this income supplement for a set time and have them naturally make plans for that money and then suddenly cancel everything!) but it goes directly against what the PC party had said they would do, before the last election:

https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/04/24/ontarios-basic-income-experiment-would-continue-under-doug-ford.html

“Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives support Ontario’s basic income pilot project, a three-year experiment to determine whether regular, no-strings-attached payments improve health, education and housing outcomes for people living in poverty.“We look forward to seeing the results,” a party spokesperson said Monday about the Liberal government initiative launched a year ago today.

When asked if a PC provincial government would kill the innovative experiment, Melissa Lantsman replied: “Nope, as mentioned we look forward to seeing the results.” “

How can we not conclude that the PC party was willing to say anything to get elected and has no intention of keeping any campaign promises if they don’t feel like it? Between this cancellation and the cancelling of the GreenON program, there is a chilling amount of direct targeting of poor people, to make their lives more difficult. For shame!!

Doug Ford's acting like a fascist with his legislation against CUPE.

Which makes me question...how worried should we be about the rest of the PC party

The best indicator of what to expect from Ford may be his record as a Toronto city councillor.

An interesting read about what we can expect in the future
