Doug Ford’s Game
Meet the boss
Doug Ford isn’t just Ontario’s Premier—he’s the bad boss everyone dreads. The son of a multimillionaire, he’s friends with billionaires like Galen Weston and cozy with developers under RCMP investigation for shady deals. Ford attacks workers’ rights, uses the power of his office to crush workers, and refuses to listen to our warnings about his cuts to public services. Like all bad bosses, he dodges accountability and makes life harder for those who keep things running.
Doug Ford’s Playbook
Blame Trump
Doug Ford has failed to deliver on his biggest promises: fixing housing (2022) and ending hallway medicine (2018). With President Trump back in office, Ford is leaning into the fear and chaos Trump creates, using it as a distraction from his own failures. Rather than addressing the crises his government has deepened, Ford is shifting the focus away from his record and stoking fear to distract Ontarians from what’s really going on.
Call an Early Election
Doug Ford isn’t calling an early election for Ontario—it’s for himself. With his favourite scapegoat, the federal government, likely changing soon, Ford knows his blame game won’t work if Pierre Poilievre becomes Prime Minister. Rushing to the polls now, in winter, he’s betting Ontarians won’t notice his costly, self-serving move.
Fake Some Shortages
Doug Ford isn’t just failing Ontario’s public services—he’s manufacturing their crises. By intentionally underfunding health care and education and refusing to adjust budgets for inflation, Ford engineers fake shortages to justify for-profit partnerships. The result? Chronic understaffing, dwindling resources, and higher costs for Ontarians. These fake shortages aren’t accidents—they’re a calculated tactic to weaken public services and eventually sell them off to his billionaire buddies.
Ignore the Affordability Crisis
Ontario’s affordability crisis has spiraled under Doug Ford these past 7 years. Housing prices are soaring, grocery bills are crushing, and food banks are overwhelmed. Ford hasn’t built affordable housing, tackled out-of-control groceries, or protected renters. Instead, his cuts and billionaire-friendly policies have deepened the crisis, grinding workers down bit by bit.
Distract from Scandals
Scandals are piling up: Ford’s government is under RCMP investigation for shady Greenbelt giveaways and slammed by the Auditor General for the Ontario Place sell-off. His playbook? Distract Ontarians with flashy bribes like $200 cheques and create chaos by ripping out bike lanes—all while hoping cynicism will keep voters from holding him accountable.
One Boss You CAN Fire
The good news is there’s one boss we can fire: Doug Ford. This election is our chance to vote him out, flip the script, and take back Ontario for the people who make it work—its workers.
