There are more people on OW and ODSP than there are jobs available in all of Ontario. But the solution is for all of them to fill out an application and start working at WalMart. Okay, Douggie.

Buddy just can't connect the dots that minimum wage doesn't cover housing anymore, that he's been holding it down for years, that he weakened rent control that kept low income people housed, and that he's been letting his buddies build just detached houses and luxury condos.
It's just so dumb, and even dumber considering that he literally has the magic wand and to drastically improve things. Just a significant enough hike of the minimum wage would automatically put a damper on more people ending up on the street, overnight.
It is not that he doesn't get it, it is that he doesn't care.
I honestly don't see why he would care either because he has no reason to care. No matter what he does, he keeps getting elected. He probably feels more bullet proof than Superman right now, which is likely why he is running his mouth far more than usual.
As long as he is Premier, the same old song and dance is going to keep happening.
He can connect them just fine. He just doesn't care. He's a cruel man, not a stupid one.
He can be cruel AND stupid.
Hanlon's razor in shambles
Entirely possible, but I'm not convinced yet. I'm still with Hanlon's razor on this one.
Not convinced YET? There has been more than a decade of this. When someone shows you who they are, believe them!!
I wouldn't. Weaponized incompetence to this extent isn't something I give the benefit of the doubt for.
Even if you work you can't afford a home. You'll still be homeless. So what's the fucking point?
What about the damned millionaires and billionaires who never want to pay their fair share but somehow are gifted benefits for their businesses by government all the time.
Welfare is a problem in every first world system
It's not the bottom of the poorest using up the welfare money in a country
It's the top wealthiest people who don't want to pay their fair share yet also want to take more out of the government just because they can.
"Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.”
Oh yeah 💯
Better not build any bike lanes that could interfere with cars either! We wouldn't want people to be able to bike to work.
Man this guy is a complete ass.
...does he not realize that homelessness relates to the mental health crisis?
Amazes me that people are stupid enough to think people simply choose to live like this.
