Peter Menzies- Mystery cloaks Doug Ford’s funding of media through Ontario advertising subsidy
Consistent with the progressive belief that government subsidies can cure any problem, Ford ordered that 25 per cent of the $100 million spent on advertising annually by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), the Ontario Cannabis Store, Metrolinx and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) be directed to Ontario newspapers. And he didn’t stop there.

Why do they need to advertise? They are a monopoly.
It’s what crown corporations do now. It’s no longer about generating revenue but pushing government policy.
Ever see the LCBO’s Food and Drink magazine? Printed on the best quality paper that tax dollars can buy. Even porn magazines don’t spend that much on paper.
in it you’ll find recipes provided by chefs no one has heard of who work at obscure dining establishments and chock full of do’s and don’ts when it comes to wine and food.
Photographers…printers…writers…chefs …restaurants…Cheese aficionados…friend of a friend, everyone gets a cut.
Same reason that the CPP board does, to rub it in our faces
I want to thank my parents for my highly developed sense of smell that warned me not to vote for the Great Pink and Yellow Pustule.
Good on you. The last election was textbook hold your nose and vote. But Jughead thought he received a mandate from the public. Shows to go ya how stupid this utter buffoon is.
Who knew a sober Doug Ford would be more dangerous then his brother Rob when he was on crack.
Well … I know nothing about percentages … however … as a consistent FOX watcher here in America … those “Ontario Great” advertisements … ALL of them, not just the Reagan ad … ran MULTIPLE times per hour. Yeah … $BIG$$$$$$ … in BEEG American dollars.
great
Fattie will stay in power for as long as the toilets in the legislature keep functioning – despite his best efforts to clog them every morning.
Most Ontario voters are drooling idiots.
That’s the final tell, Blubber Dougie is a Liberal, he’s learned how to buy a good press.
