Wasting money

Go Doug Go. Your are giving us hope. Only the dog fukrs are against you.

Its a good way to motivate Ontarians to get off the couch and government benefits. Are you people scared you might have to get a job?

It’s so telling how conservatives are either defending this or brushing it off. I can only imagine what this comment section would look like if the Liberals won and they did this.

You mean we're actually getting these signs?.. 😂😂😂

You can build an affordable house with each sign cost

H

WHO CARES!

For the people 🤔🤔🤔🤔WTF

What’s the purpose of the signs ?

Cheaper than Orange Fiasco, and a gas plant scandal.

Funny how he would have been the first to criticize this sign if the opposition had planned it.

That’s $900K less that Adrien Clarkson’s retirement fund

JeeYunTV fordnation thanks for wasting our taxpayers dollars on a freakin sign!!! Really don’t you think that money could have been used in a more productive way! Like maybe free parking at hospital!We have free parking at casinos but the sick have to pay!! priorities

Such a giant waste of money. That money could have been spent in schools, feeding hungry people, or helping keep people warm. Ridiculous.

OMG and i thought Ontario was always open for business. How sad!!!!!!!

And zero US business people will see them. If and when they come here they are flying into Toronto in a Gulfstream V. This is all about using OUR money for Trump Lite’s PR targeting his base. And these signs cost way more - labour alone is over $100K.

Yeah. Doug’s giving us the business. I’m sure he’ll find more stupid ways to get into our pockets.

Let the man do his job. Naysayers are probably the same folks who complained about cafateria food while in university. Yet they gained 20 lbs their first year. There will always negative people whom are really transferring their own life problems via a social media outlet.

What , they where closed for all this time ? What a waste of taxpayers money wtf

I don’t care even $100 million if business boom in Ontario and jobs are created

Kathleen.... 15.... B...I...LL....I...ON he has lots to catch up.

This is absolutely ludicrous! What a moron! What does that even mean in the context of a province?!

For a fucking sign 🤬

Hey...all government waste money.....wake up people....they are never held accountable therefore they don't care. Democracy rules....you vote him you get him.

Yeah. The rents, electricity, insurance are so high. Hope it works

Cool, they can use all the $$$ they saved from getting rid of the hydro execs to pay for it, no lose to taxpayers.

That’s ok liberals have wasted more. In fact you can say liberals have actually stolen more.

When all the workers leave chasing higher wages while this bozo “for the little guy” slashes wages/time off/vacation etc...

Worth every penny.

Cut coffee and snacks at meetings but you'll put up a dumb sign 😐

MOGA

Wasted money

but we ain’t got money to continue the Basic Income Pilot, huh? ok.

Yes because signs bring jobs don’t you know... :( WTF Can you squeeze in ‘make Ontario great again too’. Oh and roll the font back to 1998... Geez make some good decisions that move us forward soon please.

The eleven lawsuits he created by breaking contracts will cost us hundreds of millions. So this is just a drop in the bucket. Conservative governments are always expensive.

This will be money in the pocket of DougFord. His family owns a large 'label and posters printing' business.

You’re hypocrites for this even be news... city of Toronto quoted $140,000 to build five stair steps, and the TDSB charge out rate to install a pencil sharpener is $400

Remember the cost when Bob Rae changed all the highway signs to read “exit/sortie” instead of just “exit”? Painting chevrons on the highway with signs telling drivers to “keep back 2 chevrons”. The Liberals spent money on a stupid duck. Do we need signs Doug Ford? not really.

Oh no. The liberals didn’t waste any of our money for the last 10 years.

And JustinTrudeau is giving all of our personal information away

It’s much less than what Ontarian’s would pay in waste if liberals were in power or God forbid the sanctuary province supporting NDP

Better then the billions the Wynn government spent on destroying Ontario.

Premier Doug Ford should really consider changing his motto because he clearly isn't 'For the people'😕📉💸

Yes, Ontario is open for making signs. YIKES! What an idiot.

How much did that duck cost?

What? Why does government think that it’s ok to spend OUR $$ on nonsense like theses signs? Would you care to answer that fordnation ?

Big deal. The fuckn liberals wasted 100miliion on a power line that went to nowhere.

C’mon....enough with the stupid spending!!! What are you, Liberals?

Neon would have been cool

Ford is wasting taxpayer's money. We don't need that damn sign.

That’s $10.4 M less than the liberals paid for a terrorist.

Yeah bring the business Ontario, cheap labour.

hilarious to see all the so-called conservatives responding with 'spending tax money like this is good, actually'

Is there drug testing ?

Oh wow, that's a waste of cash

Oh yes. Now the journalists want to talk about spending but when liberals wasted billions of taxpayers money, they were instead sucking up to them.

Liberals costed up billions !!!!!!

Couldn’t you just a make a website

This government in Ontario is really going to the Dog's...... Seriously spend $100,000 for road signage that kinda redundant since Ontario is open 24 hours a day already.

So... Less than 1/6th of the Ontario Cannabis Store logo cost...

Cheaper than that useless duck that literally meant nothing

Still cheaper than the inflatable duck onpoli fordnation

I suppose that isn't too bad. It could have been more. It could have been near $500K

Populist cheep style signs as if Ontario’s flourishing and growing economy was closed .... !

What walrus move

Like are investors from Asia just randomly driving around border towns to see these things? Is this 1973? What a backwards thinking fordnation ford Might as well put up a few garage sale signs while your at it. Clowns. Ontario

Guaranteed ALL THAT RIP OFF $$$$ WILL GO RIGHT INTO DOUCHEBAG DOUGIE'S POCKETS THRU HIS PERSONAL BUSINESS DECO !!!

I didn’t know Ontario was closed for business

The signs are just like him a waste of time.

There's always people that criticize yet wont run for office or make a difference some other way

What a joke, as if a sign will bring in opportunities!

Oh that’s like 0.000001% of what wynnes hydro, carbon tax...... actually wait we don’t know how much any of that was considering her govt manipulated the books.

That's it? That's a good deal

Didn't someone say that Deco is manufacturing these signs? So $100k into Dougie's own pockets…

100k political stunt that is not measurable for effect ..... just the sign maker and installer got business over this

Fleece The People!

Of course they will...for a publicity stunt. Hey fordnation - why don't you take care of the 'little guy' as you promised to do? Instead of wasting our money on stupid signs, and cutting workers rights?

Trudeau's 'Open To The World, Come On In' signs will cost us a lot more than that

Any chance Deco isn't the company producing them?

Why is every government stupid

So one third of what Wynne spent on her office

Gotta spend money to waste money.
