UPDATED: Breaking: Doug Ford's News Conference In Which His Credibility Further Erodes

I just watched Doug Ford's news conference, prompted no doubt by the fury people feel in Ontario over his government's heavy-handed use of the Notwithstanding Clause to try to break CUPE's strike. Replete with inaccuracies and lies, Ford tried to present a conciliatory tone, but hyperbole such as the province facing bankruptcy if they cede to CUPE's demands undermined that tone. One does not easily forget, for example, the surrendering of over $1 billion in licence and toll fees and other measures to deplete the treasury.

Apparently, people are starting to wake up.

Here is Sid Seixiero's take on the debacle:

@sid_seixeiro

shares his thoughts on Premier Ford's announcement that the province is willing to Rescind Bill 28 if CUPE agrees to show similar "gesture of good faith" - by ending the walkout and getting kids back to school.

UPDATE: CUPE will end the strike upon the Ford government's written promise to rescind Bill 28.
