Ford Dougquaad (Doug Ford) is going against the public, endangering Canadian Citizens, and making traffic WORSE for everyone, but especially drivers in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
The passing of Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 goes against ALL public feedback, the government’s internal documents, traffic studies, and experts, AND acknowledges the fact that putting this into law WILL inevitably cause taxpaying citizens to get hurt or killed. It does this by taking away people’s ability -YOUR ability- to take the Province to court.

![Why Everyone You Know Is (Secretly) Drowning In Debt
Ever wonder how your coworker with the $100K truck, your vacation-obsessed neighbour, or your iPhone-upgrading friend “afford” it all… all the time? Whats the secret? Thats what this videos about.
I expose how banks, marketers, and your own brain team up to trap you in endless debt, whether you earn 30k or 300k.
Drawing from my time when I sold overpriced warranties to broke college kids, I’ll reveal how “affordable” financing, social media flex culture, and FOMO keep you broke.
Discover why even high earners live paycheck-to-paycheck, how “Buy Now, Pay Later” scams work, and why the American Dream is a rigged game.
But there’s hope: I’ll break down how to redefine “afford,” dodge lifestyle creep, and build real wealth.
Stop chasing a life you can’t afford. Opt out of the scam so you can escape the debt trap and learn to live richly… not expensively.
