PC supporters' opinion is the only thing that mattered to Ford on speed cameras. This was part of the Doug Ford: Doing Stuff™ brand for supporters & swing voters in the 905.
#OnPoli
Half in Ontario say it was ‘wrong move’ to ban speed cameras, but PC voters in support

This is what has happened as a result of Doug Ford's overriding of municipal democratic processes with his granting of Strong Mayor powers. No debate. No public input. No chance for elected councillors to challenge the decision. This isn't the first time it has impacted

As we wrote earlier this year, the Ford government has ended municipal democracy in Ontario, but you probably didn't hear about it. The government can appoint your mayor, and the major can overrule council.

Dear prog people hoping Poilievre gets dumped: Why hope for that? They're only talking dumping him now bc his brand of toxic shit didn't win an elxn; they were fine with it when they thought inferring JT was a pedophile or the gov was starting forest fires was a winning strategy. Let them wear it

The lowering of standards, the poopooing of studies and credentials, the constant movement of goalposts in favour of cronies and the detriment of all else are the signature feature of the Ford Government. Across Ministries. Across scandals.Since 2018.

Less than 7% of federal health research funding goes towards women's health in Canada. And waittimes for gynaecological surgery are not tracked while other surgeries are. Should OB/ GYN be separated into 2 different groups? Why does the term OB/GYN “encodes a bias”?

There are so many things that Doug Ford does not want to be questioned on right now, especially the Greenbelt-esque Skills Development [Slush] Fund. He doesn't want footage from hard questions in QP on the news or grabbed by the opposition parties for their digital media content.
