Doug Ford’s a master at playing the opposition and public.

Everyone’s focused on the idiotic things he says, and are now totally ignoring that he just took control of almost all of the land planning in the province.

“Doug’s such an uneducated fool! Let’s miss his biggest move this year, and focus on him apologizing.”

Yeah, someone’s a fool. He’s not as dumb as he looks, he just doesn’t care. Huge difference.

3/

What happened:
- Doug consolidated power for planning revisions

- Doug “expanded” the conservation area.

- the expansion is on the condition a super highway is built.

A highway to nowhere, where you can dispute land use under his appointed roof. Probably nothing.

4/ I don’t think it’s because our politicians are lazy. Many just don’t understand how things work beyond the immediate process.

If you understood the logistics of exploiting regulatory loopholes, you usually just make 7-figure salaries in private industry.
