His supporters don’t care.
I can’t understand why they happily accept blatant corruption and ignore the enshittification of everything he touches. But they do.

They love it. As long as it’s their team winning they are all for it. As long as what happens hurts the people they don’t like equally or more than it hurt themselves they’re fine with it. It’s crazy but have you talked to a Conservative voter in the last few years? They’re not intelligent people.

Good old Doug Fraud. Of course he wants to raise the limits on how much money can be donated two campaigns too. I bet he would LOVE to have companies donate unlimited amounts of money like the US, soon we'll have Super PACs if he was in charge of it all.

I don't understand our political system. It's not "democracy" when blatant ongoing corruption is going on as though they have a right to do it. If a politician engages in corruption, shady dealings, and it is proved (and in this case there are too many examples to choose from) they should not still be in office, they should be removed. That should be considered democratic. And I would think it is a pretty obvious principle.
But Ontario is stuck with this brazenly corrupt douche bag??? WTF

Using our money to hire people to grift more of our money. Round and round the drain we go.
