What’s the biggest FU to Ford we can spend that money on? Should we just toss it to the NDP?
75% tax exemption on provincial political donations, so if you donate to the NDP you spend $50 and the provincial government sends $150 supporting them.

So by giving that 200 check to the NPD. I’d be forcing the Ford government to also give money to the NPD?
Effectively yes.
They give you $200. You give the NDP $200. You get $150 back at tax time.
Now you have $150, the NDP has $200, so you’ve effectively had Ford give the NDP $150.
$200 per person can get a lot supplies to enhance Ontario through tactical urbanism.
Since there seems to be no end in sight for the Ford government’s rampage, it’s time for the people to make their communities better without government interference and overreach.
I was just listening to the urbanist agenda podcast on this topic. It’s a good idea but not really easy to throw money at. You’d need to find a local group and work with them under the table.
The tax exempt political contributions seem like theyd be more effective. Even if ndp isn’t your party, you could probably convince more people to give that check up in protest if they are getting some back.
Also if we get somone good in power there will be less need for tactical urbanism. We can just have the more legal kind.
Donate some to Fairvote so he can’t win anymore using first-past-the-post giving himself minority rule.
I’m aware of this organization but other than raising awareness what does the organization do with the money donated to it and how open is it with its spending?
