Doug Ford’s Game

Ford’s illegal wage cap, Bill 124, left health care, education, and other frontline workers falling behind as cost of living soared. Ford’s cuts and for-profit deals created staffing crises. Instead of listening to workers, he blames us for problems he’s made worse.
Doug Ford’s playbook is simple: when solutions are hard, he goes for gimmicks. First, “Buck-a-Beer,” a hollow promise. Then, more than half-a-billion in public money for private booze sales—money that should’ve gone to health care, education, or housing.
Doug Ford failed to fix housing or end hallway health care. Now, with Trump back in office, Ford is using fear of Trump’s chaos to distract Ontarians from his own failures—and calling an early election nobody wants.
Doug Ford blames immigrants for the family doctor shortage, lack of housing, and high food bank demand. But it’s his own cuts, cozy developer deals, and lack of planning that left Ontarians struggling. Is there anything you won’t blame immigrants for, Doug?
Doug Ford thinks $200 can buy your vote. Days before calling an unnecessary election over a year-and-a-half early, he’s mailing us cheques, hoping we’ll forget his pile of developer scandals. But $200 hardly makes a dent in this affordability crisis—and Ontarians aren’t fooled.
Ford blames Ottawa for everything—from health care failures to addiction crises—while sitting on billions in emergency funds that could solve these issues. It’s the same old game: point the finger elsewhere so no one points it at him.
Sky high grocery bills? Doug Ford blames inflation. While working-class people struggle, he sides with his billionaire buddies like Galen Weston, who could lower grocery prices tomorrow but won’t. It’s all a distraction while billionaires get richer.
Premier Doug Ford’s Office is under RCMP investigation over the decision to open the Greenbelt for development. According to the Auditor General’s report, this decision increased property values for developers by up to $8.3 billion. Meanwhile, instead of focusing on affordable housing, Ford’s policies have prioritized luxury projects, contributing to a 69-year low in new housing starts.

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.
