The Ford government is trying to fudge data to make it look like they're doing their job. This bell-owned report attempts to paint the Ford government's actions as reasonable, perhaps even proactive, responsive, and creative.

Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles criticized the Ford government's choice to include both long-term care beds and student residences in their housing count.

"You can't even have a microwave in a dorm room," Stiles said during question period Tuesday. "My goodness, that is not a home. What's next?"

Just like the surplus at the end of COVID lockdown.

Look at us, we have all this money lying around.

You you stupid fuck, put the money to use and pay the hospitals.

Doug and his cronies belong in jail
