Doug Ford has always been a piece of shit who would do anything for a buck.

I would have thought after he spent $75 million on the Regan ads he had some kind of change of morals. Guess a buck’s still a buck.

Every now and then his responses align with the general public. And you think "why can't he align with his voters more often?"

The answer is apparently because he thinks like a cartoon villain

Only thing I can think of is that they’ll come with very sensitive kill switches.

Kill... the passengers?

Go on.

I hate Ford as much as the next guy but isn't this a private company selling the cars to ice? Can the government stop a private company from doing business with someone? (That isn't labelled as a terrorist organization or a threat to the country... Yet)

I'm honestly asking because I have no idea. Fuck Ford either way though.

Then he definitely doesn't need to be taking a position on it as Premier, right? Engaging like this is culture war bullshit.

Oh I agree 100%. The article title just makes it sound like he personally is selling them shit. When in fact he is just applauding the company doing business with murders like it's something Brampton should be happy about. Guys a fuckwit.

We sent a bunch of these to Ukraine. They didn't perform well - got stuck in the mud easily, the armour wasn't sufficient for the threats, and the height didn't help with not getting hit. They're appropriate for colonial policing operations, which is why they're perfect for ICE, provided the Minnesotans start shooting back

Don't suppose you could elaborate on those weaknesses.
