Undemocratic and Unethical: Doug Ford’s Conservative Government Erodes our Democracy and Threatens our Environment

Hosted by Cinema Politica Danforth & the Toronto-Danforth NDP.

If the Ford government can’t find a crisis to exploit for its right wing privatization agenda, it will manufacture one. We keep hearing the system is “broken”, but we have to ask: Who broke it? And if it’s broke, how do we fix it?

Across a wide spectrum of issues; from the Greenbelt to housing, to education workers, to the health care crisis; the Ford government is attempting to stampede Ontarians into changes that will mainly benefit their self-serving Conservative donors and re-write longstanding democratic traditions. All of this because Ford and his minions claim a ‘crisis’ demands immediate action.

To implement their policies, the Ford government has introduced draconian measures such as the ‘notwithstanding clause’, the dictatorial overriding of municipal democracy, and the casting aside of environmental standards. Ford says these measures are necessary. They are not – we can do better!
