This is like when he removed the fee for license plate renewals last election. Just empty pandering to make him appear he's actually doing anything other than being a corrupt ex drug-dealer.

This is completely naked though and in the current cost of living environment - a lot less meaningful. This is 3 billion that didn't go to any of the multitude struggling services that we rely on.

This is like the class president campaigning on free pop from the vending machines.

I feel like Jesse Pinkman yelling "he can't keep getting away with this"

Let's see... yes he can. 🥹 I was pretty shocked he won the last election. I won't be shocked anymore.

I hate this province

Dude. You have screwed the people of this province so much to make your buddies wealthier or attract votes on negative politics. I would never vote for you. I would consider voting for you a failure of my moral duty as an Ontarian. Thinking that $200 would change that says so much about the kind of person that you are ...unfit to lead this province.

That's going to come in handy when we're waiting outside a closed ER. Can burn it for heat!

Him and his brother used to just go to apartment complex and hand out gift cards and cash, so no surprise he still uses this tactic but with government money.

Not sure if bad or insulting...

I could use 200 bucks. Still not getting my vote.
