Imagining Ford as a vehicle. I see he’s unsafe at any speed

Where gas tax fits in parties’ platforms, May 18

If you had to characterize Doug Ford as a vehicle, what would he be?

To the majority of us in Ontario, and that includes the countless non-human beings we share this province with, Ford is a big old Caterpillar D9 bulldozer, deliberately and systematically knocking down and plowing under everything that matters for re-creating and maintaining a civil society living in harmony with nature.

Bulldozer Ford has long ago lost whatever conscious awareness he ever may have had about the fact that he is reliant upon the natural world for his own survival.

As my six-year-old granddaughter said: “If we help the earth, our planet will be saved from us.”
