Premier Doug Ford said he believes the two-day strike held by education workers amid tense contract negotiations was “much more dangerous” than overriding the Charter rights of those workers to keep them off the picket line.

? Is threatening to go on strike, shut down the economy of Ontario, keep parents at home, keep the kids at home, you know, keep the grandparents—as they’re getting unloaded at the grandparent's house, that's so much more dangerous than Section 33,” Ford said at an unrelated news conference on Wednesday.in which Ford has downplayed the government’s decision to invoke the notwithstanding clause. On Tuesday, he disagreed with a reporter who described Section 33 as a “sledgehammer.

“But when you have a union sitting there telling you that they're going on strike before I even mentioned it [Section 33]. They're going on strike no matter what it is, and you have no option, but to sit back and utilize the tool,” Ford said Wednesday. The Ford government had said it would enforce a daily fine of up to $4,000 for individual employees found to be in contravention of Bill 28 or $500,000 for the union.and Monday, which resulted in major closures by school boards across the province.

Doug Ford: education workers are more dangerous than using the Notwithstanding Clause. onpoli

Don’t trust Ford !!! Lies lies lies. Pinocchio nose would look normal next to Doug’s !!!

Anyone that doesn’t need a raise in this economy knows very little about what is happening with inflation. Get educated and understand the plight that all workers are facing. Education workers are always on strike because govts offer very little and try to reduce resources.

jake_sisko Oh please

BS!

It's almost like being a dumbass runs in the family

He is so out of touch. Thank you to the people who did not vote this past ummer.

Much more dangerous to who Him Yeah it was.

Sounds like something a fascist would say.

FAILED LEADERSHIP.Doug the Slug Ford fordnation Ford:'We’ll always be there to support our (enter lie here) system.' Whether it be educational, health care or the disabled, our drug dealer premier peddles the same bullshit everyday. Doug drug dealer Ford, gettin' nothin' done

Bob and weave, scatter dust, point fingers, never accept your own foolishness

The guy votes himself and buddies $16,000 wage increases. Attacks workers that can not ever buy a house. Or can not pay rent. CUPEOntario osbcucscso fordnation Sflecce

He still hasn't learned anything. A few days ago he backed down. Brace yourselves for another attack.

Ford needs to do less talking and more negotiating

yeah, dangerous for his rich friends.

Deliberate and intended to cause harm not help and done so for profit....at this point all Canadians should look to the west and send Doug Ford a message...maybe he might actually serve taxpayers and not just himself firedougford

NO - FORD is more DANGEROUS and needs fired firedougford

Guess you should have done your job better eh... don't give yourself a 30 percent wage increase for being a over priced useless piece of sh*t. Let's reduce your all politicians pay to 45k a yr. See how long u stay in your job

Does he believe that we're going to buy that sh!t ? onpoli

What a colossal BOOB

Trudeau set the prescedent for violating the charter. Our charter is just toilet paper at this point

At this point, Ford is more dangerous than anything.

Meathead!

Keeping people working is more important than their individual rights… Explain how this is not an argument for some form of modern day slavery… This is who the conservatives are… individual rights are not as important as making money for the elites like Doug Ford.

What good is a constitution, bill of rights or charter rights and freedoms if there is a clause that allows them to be suspended at any time without discussion or referendum. They are nothing more than symbolic

Lol

Unions should have supported the freedom protests and their uninjected workers. This pathetic selfishness on the backs of our childrens long awaited education is A DISGRACE.

With Ford saying this obviously he does not take his job seriously!! It shouldnt get to this point for the workers to strike

is a pro Ford rag

Ford should return his 16k raise.

The most dangerous thing going on here was that the Ontario electorate re-elected a former drug dealer to run their province and couldn’t have foreseen what would go down.

Why did the strike end ffs.

He’s really hoping most people just aren’t paying attention isn’t he

DickTaterFord PotatoPenis

Hey it's me Doug Ford about to drop the phattest of albums. Listen to my album 'Free (But Not You)' on Spotify. Lead single is 'CUPE My Ballz ft Lecce The G'.

Spreading fear I see

He’s afraid that the other unions will now be asking for more money, he knows that they all have each other’s backs now, he’s right to be afraid, they can and hav threatened to shut down Ontario

You know what I think? Ford is dangerous if he really thinks that. He’s lost his way …

Are we sure Ford is named 'Doug' and not 'Pinto'? Because that guy is an exploding piece of poop.

A benevolent authoritarian dictator. Allrighty then. Me taking away your Charter rights was me protecting you from those pesky dangerous rights. An evil version of Open Source coders telling you that you don't need that functionality you want.

Look how Ford has changed...

Ford says, Ford says... does anyone even believe the crap that comes out of his mouth anymore?

Unlike in fordnation, suspending charter rights is more dangerous than education strikes in Canada. Believing otherwise makes Ford a fascist. Proves my point: populists have no regard for constitutional norms & their ideology threatens their jurisdiction’s social order

whatever he has tiny hands and probably never lifted a box in his life.

He's the biggest danger to every single resident of this province!

A fascist and a buffoon.

Another headshaker by Dougie. When he goes off script, we enter the bizarro world .

fordnation 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤡 🤡 🤡

Are u kidding me!!!?

ONpoli CdnPoli DoFo

fordnation no one buys this nonsense. By the way when exactly are you going to help our kids?! Like many others in Ontario, my kids have been struggling to breathe & needed emergency meds. Kind of important. All our PICU is full. ACT NOW!

FordFailedSchools FireLecce CUPESolidarity

This is going to be your last term because there a lot of union workers in Ontario that will not vote for you ford what a fool you are ford you piss off a lot of Union workers I understand there are over a million union workers in Ontario so Mr ford now we can say good bye hahaha

No it wasn't

He is right.

I bet he does. He can't govern a province like a privately owned business. Turns out Unionized workers don't actually work for him at all. Fun fact: Before his father gave him an exec position at Deco Labels, Dug Ford ran a successful business as a drug dealer in Etobicoke.

Charter shmarter who needs rights anyways when guys like this are there for us. Hard eyeball roll

Hope the great general strike was on its way. Winniprg all over.

You are awful fordnation

Sheesh…I just can’t understand the strategic comms play with these pressers and the lack of prep of DoFo. It’s either brazen confidence or complete and utter stupidity. Who is advising DoFo? His Pol Comms strategy is a real mess. onted

See what happens when you let these people abuse the charter for over 2 years?

Then declare them essential and call in arbitration

I wish this man would hide like he did prior to the federal election. Every time he opens his mouth, of he's not giving away Ontario to his rich wanna-be friends for 10 cents on the dollar, he is saying imbecile statements.

fordnation has no idea, once again, what he's bullshitting about

Ford has a lack of understanding regarding constitutional law. Simple.

Does he not know the right to strike for collective bargaining is in the Charter. How can he make this statement with a straight face? Nothing is more dangerous than a power-drunk Ford abusing the notwithstanding clause.

Sure Dougie... 🙄 OnPoli OntEd NotwithstandingClause Notwithstanding FordAbomiNation FordFailedThePeople FireLecce

Ontario needs a GeneralStrike for FordFailedThePeople to wake up!

Villianizing people who were not treated with the respect they deserved, and him playing the victim. Isn't that lovely!

Thinking of starting a GoFundMe to send Sledgehammers mounted with a plaque that says “Section 33” and send one to each MPP so that they can remember this the next time Fors decides to sledgehammer Charter Rights

The biggest threat is fordnation. Theres a reason he hasn't repelled Bill28, he waiting to see if he will still need to use it and the notwithstandingclause. Watch out CUPEOntario and all other unions. The bully is ramping up the rhetoric again

fordnarion suspending the rights of Canadians purely to save money is pure terrifying and yet it's absolutely horrific that you are ok with it and are very willing to do it again. The NWC is not a toy!!!

Those rights are still suspended.

Wrong. Ignorant & wrong.

Breaking: Ford has zero understanding of the law or its applications.

That’s how every Fascist leader in history has reasoned at some point… it’s a very slippery slope!

Strikes that’s happened how many times over decades are more dangerous then actually stripping away rights? Who believe this shit

He is 100% WRONG!

Doug Ford playbook. onpoli

Give it up Dofo

Of course he said that, because he’s never wrong! 🤣🤣🙄

In other words, Doug Ford doesn't think the people should have the power in a democracy and said that after trying to take our rights away. FordFailedOntario FordMustGo

Which makes you realize how dangerous Doug is, given that he believes that.

An education is what you need, Sir, on constitutional law. But you do you.

We are on stand by and ready to go again if needed!

He wishes.

He will never learn.

It’s really concerning that Doug Ford doesn’t understand the magnitude of voiding Charter rights using the Notwithstanding clause. Strikes are avoidable. Rights are not negotiable. OntEd OnPoli

😂😂

You stood side by side with JT and defended the EMERGENCY ACT. YOUR VOTERS WILL REMEMBER THAT. fordnation

But one must bear in mind that Doug Ford is an idiot.

JHC

No ICU beds at Childrens Hospitals across Ontario is pretty damn scary too. Congrats fordnation on the new milestone

It may not have been your Rights he suspended this time, but it's clear he'll do it again and next time it might be YOUR rights. He HAS to go!

Omfg

We know you're not very bright but you're starting to look a little deflated and worn down. Why don't you go on a permanent vacation and have a nice Kawartha Dairy ice cream?

Doug Ford needs to resign! He had better honor his promise of rescinding the bill. The workers honoured their part by ending the strike.

yeah, dangerous for corrupt authoritarians like him

Natural selection at its finest...

Lol what a joke

He's starting to sound like the pillow guy

Says the rich, old, white man with no rights being challenged.

Doug Ford in power is dangerous.

WHAT!!!!!

Fascist: ‘People exercising their rights is more dangerous than me taking away their rights.’ ResignDougFord

There are people out there who will believe him and he's spinning the narrative now so that he can get public opinion on his side. CUPE should have stayed out and not trusted him.

Wrong constitutional rights should triumph everything. Or why have one?

🐂💩🐂💩🐂💩🤮🤮🤮🤮🤡🤡

Dangerous for who?

He never learns when to keep his mouth shut...

That's wholly untrue.

You were the danger fordnation .

I call this bull. Mr. Ford. Lose the Trump attitude please.

That makes zero sense. You had other options to avoid a strike. Not to mention bill 28 arguably CAUSED A STRIKE. so congrats you did both

What a joke. Always demonizing the other side that just wanted better pay. He truly is such a despicable human being.

Doug Fraud is at it again. CUPE drop the fucking hammer on this guy. Bring the Steelworkers in. onted onpoli

Much more dangerous for Dougy

🐴 💩

How is a labour union exercising their charter right to withdraw services in a legal way MORE dangerous than a government passing a law to revoke charter rights of a singular group? This is just nonsense. How?

He's not bright..water is wet.

So, fordnation things that people who stand up for their rights is more dangerous than suspending people's Charter rights? Who put this on his teleprompter? DougFordIsALiar DougFordMustResign

FordFailedSchools

Who advised fordnation ? They all need to be fired! Using children for a political narrative is an abuse of power!

I obviously don’t represent CUPE in anyway shape or form… But fordnation, if you don’t recall the legislature back by Friday to remove Bill 28… I can’t blame the education workers for walking off the job again. They 100% have my support if they do. CUPEOntario OPSEU

What’s dangerous is messing with the the green belt.

Shut up already Doug

Wait……What? Did DoFo read the teleprompter correctly?

Your diet is dangerous too... But relaxing on the cottage won't help your obesity

So dangerous time for the emergencies act

He is a disgrace

It’s amazing he is still in power or charge of anything.

That people might escape legislated poverty is the biggest threat imaginable to a greedy capitalist pig

And THAT’S the problem - the fact Ford actually thinks that is insane! FordMustGo waltonmom do not settle anything until he repeals bill 28

Lol

😂 I’d argue the cesspool my son is sitting in right now is more dangerous. BringBackMasks onted onpoli

He still hasn't repealed bill 28 while he continues to try and use the media to negotiate

Of course he said that!!!!

Yes... utilizing ones rights is far more dangerous than taking rights away... 🙄
