That was a long game. Doug and Dom LeBlanc spent almost a year in the US in 2024/25 selling Fortress Am-Can to the Republicans. They ran big advertising campaigns in the US, Doug was on US cable news every week. It says, in black and white, that Canada will protect and support US energy.

Oh Doug Ford - I guess that big mistake of cancelling all those wind and solar projects is coming home to roost now. And funny to think that most of the gas used to power the dirty gas power plants in Ontario is imported from the USA. In fact 75% . Elbows up! #onpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Moving the Toronto Star to the right allowed Postmedia to move even further right, pushing Canada's Overton Window to the right. Bitove bought the Star to neutralize and de-fang it, and Ford gave him an online gambling license to seal the deal. The Star is no problem for Ford now.

Quite a stark difference from how Canadian cops refused to do their jobs against white nationalist domestic terrorists whose stated goal was a coup. Wonder why? Almost as if they can't wait to be fitted for their brown shirts & jack boots.

Surprised the Star covered this, frankly. As we've mentioned, many times, after Jordan Bitove bought the Star, he got an online casino license from the Ford government. Ford doesn't have to boycott The Star now, it's been neutralized to push the Overton Window. www.thestar.com/news/investi...

When he was first on the scene, they used to do panels together, not disclosing they were married. She was positioned as an "affordable housing expert." She was also on the board of Cycle Toronto (🤣🤣🤣), a hotbed for "I'm Progressive" cosplay.
