His family is wealthy...

And Doug was an astute businessman, even in high school.

There is no way that 210/yr could pay for that monster. Maybe CRA should do net worth audits on all politicians by legislation? Would they find any that weren't dirty? Definitely won't find any in the leadership of the party in charge.

it's beside the old cottage.. I believe on the same lot.
Fawn Lake is small.

I think Ford would win again if an election was held today and I'd vote for him.

That said, every bone in my body says he's getting reward points somewhere like most politicians. Where and when does he cash them in?

What form do they take? A seat on the board of mega corporation with stock options and a golden parachute? Free rides for the kiddies to an Ivy League college?

Some day we will find out the real costs of driving a Ford.

I used to think Ford was OK-ish,...he`s actually just another politician. A pompous blowhard dork out for his own good and the good of his wealthy buddies, the rest of us be damned. The science center sat on a primo piece of real estate, doesn`t Ellis-Don or one of the big players own a huge piece of land just north of that now vacant land? How convenient to develop and Doug gets juiced in. Nothing is ever free unless you`re a Liberal/socialist DB. The reckoning will come for Canada, don`t say we weren`t warned.

I'm not saying his cottage is guaranteed to be dirty. A net worth audit would shine light on politicians who were acquiring assets in a shady way. Knowing it was coming would be enough to clean up some of the graft. It's not that easy for a benefactor of your tax dollars to financially enrich you with no trail at all. CRA chooses not to investigate as the politicians are terrified of what they would find if they looked.

Same way Trudeau amassed 500 Million in 10 years on a PM`s salary. How about Nancy Pelosi`s net worth on her salary? I`d think there may have been a small amount of criminality at play.

Douggie is bored of the vocal minority on the island and is trying to drive them out by ignoring their whining. We'll see what happens. Maybe the drone of planes will drown out their entitlement to strangle the city for their own subsidized paradise.

That could be a tough battle. Lots of old money has those places, especially with the yachet club over there. maybe it doesn't impact them, but people of privilege may thumb their noses at him.
