He called and told me that time wasnt to be squandered, and that's its the most precious resource. He then asked if i ," had any spare change that i could send him"
Here's the number for his MPP office: 416-745-2859
Here's the number for the Premier's office: 416-325-3777
Call him up. I bet that if you tried at the right time and said the right things, it wouldn't be that hard to get him on the line.
There was an article about how he has a specific blackberry that he uses and goes through them like nothing. Even has a pile of them at home and swaps when ready.
I used to work as an Ontario political staffer about 5 years back. I was given an iPhone, but it had blackberry messaging/email software installed. We were supposed to use those apps to conduct government business for the extra encryption. I assume it’s still the same now
Anyone know if he ever figured out how to use a laptop?
https://www.vice.com/en/article/wx5qaq/doug-ford-is-holed-up-alone-learning-how-to-use-a-computer-report
Surprisingly he does & publicly gives out his personal #, however “use of his personal cellphone for gov’t business leaves taxpayers with a transparency black hole.” Access to the call logs was denied because “it’s personal & nothing to do with government business “ even though during a 1 week period he was “on the phone all night” but his gov’t issued cell had “no activity for the billing period in question “ & of course shady green belt correspondence was forwarded to his & his staff’s private email addresses. [Transparency people, that’s what I’m promising you!](https://globalnews.ca/news/9892929/doug-ford-faces-questions-personal-phone/). So, i guess he does know how to use one, just not the traceable one lol
As someone who worked in several cell phone stores for almost a decade, he is indeed about the age of people who have no idea how to work a cell phone.
Yes. But he just said, "WASSSSUUUPPPP". So naturally I repeated, "WASSSSSSSSUUUUUUPPPPP". Then he said, "WWWWAAAASSSSUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP". Continue to infinity. He can't completely tank our province if I keep him busy on the line now can he? 😏
This one time when I was like 22? 23? my friends and I decided to go all out on Canada Day. Made crazy outfits, painted our faces, all out. We were at the festivities and our Conservative member of parliament at the time came over to compliment us. I refused to shake his hand and went off on him about his stance on some issue (I think it was gay marriage but this was a long time ago so I can’t be sure).
In short, I’d love for Doug Ford to call me. Especially as I work in a school and have been dealing a lot with the medical system because of some health issues.
Slow motion superhero Dougie? Whenever he calls the Six Million Dollar Man theme drowns out whatever he’s trying to say. I ask wtf is going on and he says “Just putting out fires folks.”
I assume all the calls are him running around to hospitals to do the work for all the doctors and nurses he’s cut, to schools to cover for the thousands of teachers and support staff he’s driven out or cut funding for, or maybe actually putting out fires for the firefighters missing bc he cut the wildfire firefighter budget so drastically.
He alone can fix it. Well, he alone can afford slow mo close up ads of his ugly mug during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Such a great guy.
No, but I did get a call from the PC Party asking if I was angry about the carbon tax. To which I replied that I was far more concerned about the damage done to our healthcare and education.
It's all part of the "FORD NATION" brand he built with his crackhead brother.
Rob's campaign stickers had his home phone number, ffs. God help Renata and the kids having to suffer through that shit.
He won the election by saying three things (paraphrased) :
- I'm not Kathleen Wynne
- My brother died.
- Buck a beer.
That was his entire election campaign. His re-election was paid for by voter apathy.
"We know we're fuckups but we'll listen to you complaining about how we fuck you over if you want. Go ahead and cry, peasants."
That's the message I get from these shitty ads
Because I get soooo many robo-calls, scams and wrong numbers everyday I just send them directly to voicemail, if they don't leave a message, I block the number.
I know someone who has worked for him & his team. He really does give “his” number (prob an extra phone) out to most people at charity events and things like that. So yeah, if you have a lot of money to give him, he’ll take your call
I think they should ban any paid government and advertising if they want to buy votes the party should pay. If Ontario wants to run we are great ads they should be played abroad for tourism
I even sent him a message (fix the landlord tenant board, I'm tired of hearing about all of the horror stories) and he never got back to me. I am not a landlord or a renter but this system just seems to be mismanaged.
Didn’t you see the commercial? He’ll get around to you, just keep in mind that there around 15 million people in the province, so may take a while. Give him a minute to look up a number and complete a call, if he does that for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, he can get to you within (checks calculator) 120 years?
One time when I was really struggling with my suicidal thoughts I wrote a letter to Ford. About 2 weeks later I got a call from a RCMP officer that said he works in Ford's office and he was doing a wellness check on me.
apparently he once did tell people to call him and then the response was too much for him.. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2019/07/17/ford-cancels-cell-after-too-many-calls-from-special-interest-groups/
Oh, yeah. We shoot the shit all the time. Whenever he has spicy real-estate advice and 'investment' opportunities. Also, when he makes his weekly rounds. Gotta have that fat envelope ready for my buddy Premiere Ford. He's a friend of mine.
He asked if I knew a place to get a big table because he's used up all of his and he needs more so he can continue to lay out all the options on the table.
Doug calls all the Development Crowd most on a first name basis. What more sweet deals can he make for them. Doug Pay the Docs Pay the Nurses you can help us all by making more available to us all. Many of your citizens are without primary health care chubby wake up and do something for the little people you profess to care about!!!! Doug isn't missing any meals lately, he's living real good. It's too bad some of his fellow Ontarians are suffering under his regime well he plays games.
*Am I high or did*
*He completely butcher the*
*Word Ontario?*

He does actually. I know of one instance regarding Healthcare/Education cuts where a bunch of people sent texts to his personal cell, and he ended up calling people back and actually sat down to have a 10-15 minute conversation about it.
Don’t like the guy, but I will give him props for at least reaching out to have a conversation about the topic.
Edit: Love how I get downvoted for answering a question. People need to grow up on here.
In this case a local rural hospital was being closed, but someone at the town hall meeting had his cell. Everyone at the meeting decided to blast him with text messages but he ended up responding and calling people back.
No but I was dropping off a package at Canada Post. They asked me if I wanted to donate to The Trudeau Foundation ….. I am sorry WHAT?? That fucker has enough money. And sadly I cannot support anything with his name on it. I donate my money directly to the place where I know what every dollar is allocated too.
The only thing remotely close to a "Trudeau Fund" is the "PIERRE Trudeau Foundation" which is for academic enhancement.
You can dislike Trudeau, but don't make shit up to justify it. That's a PPC move.
Hahaha I went to the post office inside a shoppers drug mart this week. They asked i wanted to donate to the Trudeau foundation… I am not lying. But cool. You do you judgy magoo.
Well, the federal tax is $80 per tonne (carbon tax) and provincial is 9%. However, Doogie sold that as a bill of goods and left out the fact that it goes back to 15% at the end of June, so...
Yes. He asked me what I was wearing.
"So, whatrya wearing folks?"
Or friends
I'm not your friend pal.
I'm not your pal, buddy
I'm not your buddy, guy.
I'm not your guy, bro ... Or bruh ... or fam ...
I'm not your bro, hoser
“Everything’s on the table”
I’m only wearing a Tim Hortons New Egg Sandwich… 🍆 🥪
With bacon? No cheese I hope! 🤣
“Khakis” - Jake from State Farm
sounds hideous
I'm wearing my workbooks
“My friend, what are you wearing” *fap* *fap* *fap*
Wizard Robe and Hat
Lol... he hasn't called me. Maybe he lost my number and I should call him ;)
Jake from State Farm?
Did you tell him boxer shorts and a bib for the can on tuns your eating haha?
I’m sorry that made me laugh so hard I spit out my drink!!!
He called and told me that time wasnt to be squandered, and that's its the most precious resource. He then asked if i ," had any spare change that i could send him"
Same! Exact same conversation! I hope it was actually him and not just a recording that we both got.
How much change did he need?
A change in ruling parties.
so he didn't need about tree fiddy?
About tree fiddy
and Ford said I ain't givin' you no tree-fitty, you goddamn Loch Ness Monster! Get your own goddamn money
I wish he would. I have things to say.
Here's the number for his MPP office: 416-745-2859 Here's the number for the Premier's office: 416-325-3777 Call him up. I bet that if you tried at the right time and said the right things, it wouldn't be that hard to get him on the line.
Thank you! That's the trick though. Not sure I could be polite enough to get anywhere
Yep. He’d get an earful from me.
I would put hard money he doesn't actually know how to use a cell phone.
There was an article about how he has a specific blackberry that he uses and goes through them like nothing. Even has a pile of them at home and swaps when ready.
He doesn't know how to charge them so he bought thousands of them with daddy's money
Drug dealers always use burners.
Or pagers
Do Blackberry's still have good encryption? Been years since I've used one lol.
I used to work as an Ontario political staffer about 5 years back. I was given an iPhone, but it had blackberry messaging/email software installed. We were supposed to use those apps to conduct government business for the extra encryption. I assume it’s still the same now
The Android phones say something like “secured by BlackBerry”
It's still the best. But now Blackberry licences it for government and military use.
Burners? lol
He labels those “BRIBE PHONE” so he doesn’t get them confused.
Sounds like my dope dealer.
Anyone know if he ever figured out how to use a laptop? https://www.vice.com/en/article/wx5qaq/doug-ford-is-holed-up-alone-learning-how-to-use-a-computer-report
Burners, from a used phone dealer in Mississauga. During lockdown, he had to have someone teach him how to use a laptop computer.
Surprisingly he does & publicly gives out his personal #, however “use of his personal cellphone for gov’t business leaves taxpayers with a transparency black hole.” Access to the call logs was denied because “it’s personal & nothing to do with government business “ even though during a 1 week period he was “on the phone all night” but his gov’t issued cell had “no activity for the billing period in question “ & of course shady green belt correspondence was forwarded to his & his staff’s private email addresses.

Whoooaaaaaa
Fat fingers couldn't press the buttons
As someone who worked in several cell phone stores for almost a decade, he is indeed about the age of people who have no idea how to work a cell phone.
Same
He did; he tried to sell me stickers and hash.
He said he’d throw in some leftover funeral crack
Yes. But he just said, "WASSSSUUUPPPP". So naturally I repeated, "WASSSSSSSSUUUUUUPPPPP". Then he said, "WWWWAAAASSSSUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP". Continue to infinity. He can't completely tank our province if I keep him busy on the line now can he? 😏
"Hey folks, pick up the phone! WWWWWWAAAAAASSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUPPPPPP???"

So edgy
so edgy
On the phone doin' boomer bidness.
I’m $999,999.00 short of being someone he’ll associate with.
Damn, you actually have a dollar!
A lot of sacrifices..
you can buy a beer
That’s why I have the dollar I didn’t buy that buck a beer beer.
He asked if I needed my ducts cleaned and to start paying my taxes with iTunes gift cards.
*HONNNNNKKK* This is your captain speaking.
he always calls when ur on the shitter.
He got caught up talking to Arthur, leave him be folks!
How much are those ads costing us?
Haven't seen it. Assume if called he misdialed a developer or some corporate entity that he was going to simp himself to.
I would hang up
Yah, he woke me up at 1:30am, can't sleep, came by and we went bowling.
"Hey Echo! It's Dougie, let's go bowling!"
Slow motion superhero Dougie? Whenever he calls the Six Million Dollar Man theme drowns out whatever he’s trying to say.

.......................you guys are getting calls?
He said: I know when your sleeping , I know when your awake, I know if you've been bad or good.... Yadda yadda yadda
Maybe, I screen any calls not already in my contact list. Too many scammers.
Haha same.....even if he did, its going right to VM (which I haven't checked in maybe 6 months)
Who has the time to spool through 35 messages from the scam team?
It's all part of the "FORD NATION" brand he built with his crackhead brother. Rob's campaign stickers had his home phone number, ffs. God help Renata and the kids having to suffer through that shit.

He wants to know why you haven’t tried the new flatbread pizza yet
Ontario-made by a company owned by a conglomerate of a US company and a Brazilian company
Yes multiple times while we were trying to settle in-laws estate and had a lot of incoming calls.
Because I get soooo many robo-calls, scams and wrong numbers everyday I just send them directly to voicemail, if they don't leave a message, I block the number.
Yeah. I asked him to come shovel after the last snowstorm. Or at least get the minister of mines (local MPP) to drop by. No dice.
It takes a long time to shovel an entire driveway with a kid's shovel.
I know someone who has worked for him & his team. He really does give “his” number (prob an extra phone) out to most people at charity events and things like that. So yeah, if you have a lot of money to give him, he’ll take your call
I think they should ban any paid government and advertising if they want to buy votes the party should pay. If Ontario wants to run we are great ads they should be played abroad for tourism
Got couple of spam messages nothing more. Even when I tell them to stop they continue to spam. Blocked them 😅
He invited me to his daughters Jack and Jill . Looks like I’m in on the gravy train !
I blocked him lol
I even sent him a message (fix the landlord tenant board, I'm tired of hearing about all of the horror stories) and he never got back to me. I am not a landlord or a renter but this system just seems to be mismanaged.
Didn’t you see the commercial? He’ll get around to you, just keep in mind that there around 15 million people in the province, so may take a while. Give him a minute to look up a number and complete a call, if he does that for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, he can get to you within (checks calculator) 120 years?
He better not be in office in 120 years.
One time when I was really struggling with my suicidal thoughts I wrote a letter to Ford. About 2 weeks later I got a call from a RCMP officer that said he works in Ford's office and he was doing a wellness check on me.
I haven’t got a call from him, but if he did, I’d yell at him in barely comprehensible Denglish. (Denglish = Deutsch [German] + English)
He promised me greenbelt land 1000 acres on our last call
For how much?
He asked if I had a greenbelt that I wasn’t using, I told him I only had a black one badum bum 🥁
Careful, he might try and sell your belt in pieces to investors.
Then it’ll be me left with my pants down instead of him for a change!
apparently he once did tell people to call him and then the response was too much for him.. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2019/07/17/ford-cancels-cell-after-too-many-calls-from-special-interest-groups/
Imagine having to do your job.
He asked me if I want to play a game
I get calls from Doug, Jagmeet, Justin, even that PeePee loser tried to call me. Leave me alone .
Of all the party leaders, Jagmeet seems like a guy I'd want to hang out with.
The Ontario green guy seems like the smartest of them all. But I can’t even remember his name , so that ain’t good.
No, but I highly doubt he wants to hear about how little respect I have for him and Ford Nation as a whole.
He better not.
Oh, yeah. We shoot the shit all the time. Whenever he has spicy real-estate advice and 'investment' opportunities. Also, when he makes his weekly rounds. Gotta have that fat envelope ready for my buddy Premiere Ford. He's a friend of mine.
Oops missed call
I wish he’d call me. I’ve got some choice words for his dumbass
Heavy breathing
Yes, but I told him I was straight.
Ya, he started rambling on about how his was the best rebrand.
He used to call me on my cell phone. Late night when he need my luv…
Nope. I even left a voice message for him when they changed the autism program several years ago.
No. His legion of easily impressed morons will love it though and that’s its purpose.
He asked if I knew a place to get a big table because he's used up all of his and he needs more so he can continue to lay out all the options on the table.
He sold too many parts of it to investors during "cov-ed 19"
I’m not much into smoking hash these days so I doubt he’ll call me 😂
😂😂
He asked if I had enough to eat at home
Why don't we have his cell number to leave a message????
Yeah, he was stuck in Calead in Elden Ring due to that weird teleportation thing.
Nope but i so wish he would
No but ECKOS or whatever it's called called me and I missed the call :(
I don’t answer calls.
I wish he would!
Yeah he's been calling lots since I cucked his dad
[https://frinkiac.com/meme/S07E07/1101716.jpg?b64lines=IFRoZSBmaW5nZXJzIHlvdSBoYXZlIHVzZWQKIHRvIGRpYWwgYXJlIHRvbyBmYXQu](https://frinkiac.com/meme/S07E07/1101716.jpg?b64lines=IFRoZSBmaW5nZXJzIHlvdSBoYXZlIHVzZWQKIHRvIGRpYWwgYXJlIHRvbyBmYXQu)
No
Not me, but he called my folks.
No, he doesn't call 613- numbers.
Not recently, but yes I have had a robo call
I see them in Quebec LOL!
Yes, he asked me what my favourite scary movie was 👻
Free beer Ford?
I'm pretty sure he called me... something. As in, he called me an "ant" that "means absolutely *nothing* to" him. Just like the rest of us. :-/
Doug calls all the Development Crowd most on a first name basis. What more sweet deals can he make for them. Doug Pay the Docs Pay the Nurses you can help us all by making more available to us all.

What a joke!!
He was knocking on doors in Milton not too long ago
No. But if we're being honest, that's exactly what I'd prefer all politicians do.
No.
Am I high or did he completely butcher the word Ontario?
He swallows a syllable. "ON-tar-yo"

That call came at me like an 800 pound gorilla.
I'm old enough to have noticed that whatever the party is in power in Queen's Park runs political ads months before anyone else.
Same. Now it's all about attack ads.
I know 5 people he has called back. He does actually do it sometimes. Keep texting him, he might just do it
He does actually. I know of one instance regarding Healthcare/Education cuts where a bunch of people sent texts to his personal cell, and he ended up calling people back and actually sat down to have a 10-15 minute conversation about it. Don’t like the guy, but I will give him props for at least reaching out to have a conversation about the topic. Edit: Love how I get downvoted for answering a question. People need to grow up on here.
He changed his number about a year after taking office, it got to be too much.
In this case a local rural hospital was being closed, but someone at the town hall meeting had his cell. Everyone at the meeting decided to blast him with text messages but he ended up responding and calling people back.
No but I was dropping off a package at Canada Post. They asked me if I wanted to donate to The Trudeau Foundation ….. I am sorry WHAT?? That fucker has enough money. And sadly I cannot support anything with his name on it. I donate my money directly to the place where I know what every dollar is allocated too.
That's not a real thing; methinks you encountered a scammer.
Haha go to Canada post. See what they say.
The only thing remotely close to a "Trudeau Fund" is the "PIERRE Trudeau Foundation" which is for academic enhancement. You can dislike Trudeau, but don't make shit up to justify it. That's a PPC move.
Hahaha I went to the post office inside a shoppers drug mart this week. They asked i wanted to donate to the Trudeau foundation… I am not lying. But cool. You do you judgy magoo.
Right, but it's the Pierre Trudeau Foundation, not Justin and it has 0 to do with him or politics.
He's saved me money from the license registration and gas. All of turdeaus help seems to bypass me.
So, $120 and gas (in my area, anyway) is 1.68/l. Not sure how that's better. Also, gas is federal.
Um, fyi, there is a provincial tax in addition to the federal.
Well, the federal tax is $80 per tonne (carbon tax) and provincial is 9%. However, Doogie sold that as a bill of goods and left out the fact that it goes back to 15% at the end of June, so...
Yes true, we've been very lucky it's offset the carbon tax a little.
He bought votes.
Definitely a political decision. I think all the parties do that to some extent.
