Correct......
Though, this points out the absurdity of credit ratings in this context at all; the fiscal situation is actually worse this year, in absolute debt, in debt to GDP and in deficit then when the province was put on 'negative outlook'

It's a bit like judging whether the football team will win or not by the enthusiasm of the cheerleaders and coach.

I'd suspect that most would not have a problem with that.

75 per cent of Ontario now dislikes Doug Ford according to new report
It's been less than a year now since the people of Ontario voted PC leader (and now Premier) Doug Ford into office, but they wouldn't do it again, ac…

Doug's political errors continue...
The Tories' beer and wine campaign has been widely criticized by social media users since it started on the weekend.
Most of the tweets by PC MPPs feature a large number of critical replies that far outpace the number of retweets or likes associated with the tweet — a phenomenon Twitter users call getting "ratioed."
Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott was part of the weekend blitz and promoted a convenience store convicted of selling an electronic cigarette to an underage customer in a tweet calling for expanded beer and wine sales. The Aurora, Ont. store was convicted of violating the Smoke-Free Ontario Act by selling an electronic cigarette to a person under 19 on July 12, 2018.

Going by the Macdonald Block today, a thought came to me: what if, as part of the present renovations and upgrades, the Ford gov't had the bright idea of selling off the artwork?

I wonder if those beer-at-the-corner-store tweets were meant to operate in kind of the same way as rock stars chiming in with their own version of "Things Go Better With Coca-Cola", or their own variation on "I Want My MTV". Yeah, like Ontario News Now is on the same level as 60s Top 40 or 80s MTV...

Ford Fest is back June 22... but without beer.
Many have already pointed out that it’s ironic that there will be no beer at the annual Ford family BBQ since it's been so central to Ford's government mandate and after his party's MPPs posted synchronized tweets complaining that they can't buy beer at convenience stores this past weekend.

Ford government rejects Toronto's own plans for Yonge and Eglinton downtown, demands more density.
The Ford government has thrown out the City of Toronto’s amendments to its official plan for the areas of Yonge and Eglinton and the downtown core, with the municipal affairs minister saying the plan needs to allow for denser housing near transit hubs.
In July 2018, the City of Toronto made amendments to its official plan for the downtown core and the Yonge and Eglinton area.
Toronto Mayor John Tory has said he was told of the rejection by the province via text message last night.

And there is more corruption: The Ford government owns a web domain used by a private sector industry lobby group to advance a government policy that will cost us $1B and the Attorney General is advertising the beer campaign. What the WTF is going on at Queen’s Park (beside the obvious and little brown envelopes)
