Doug Ford has a history of wasting taxpayers' money and helping his buddies line their pockets with extra cash. He's currently under investigation since he got caught selling protected land to his buddies and then rezoning it for housing afterwards, allowing the value to spike up by billions. And that's just criticizing his corruption. He's not a good person either. He got caught selling crack to high schoolers.

Doug Ford, aka Drug Fraud

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why is he still in office instead of in prison?

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

His family is rich so they got to bail him out when he did stupid stuff like selling drugs.

I'm sorry, he did what?

The whole family has a history of drugs, so it's not surprising to anyone in the GTA. His brother was the mayor of Toronto, and there was a big scandal surrounding it at one point. He ended up dying, and Doug has had a grudge against the Toronto city council. One of his first acts when he became premier was to slash the city council by like half.
