The Ontario 2018 election thread

Well, Ford has had his first hundred days. What has he done?

The 10 biggest things Doug Ford has done in his first 100 days in office

TL;DR:

1. Cut Toronto's city council (in the middle of a municipal election)
   
2. Rolled back 2015 sex-ed curriculum (so it no longer mentions same-sex relationships or gender identity)
   
3. Investigating province's $15B deficit
   
4. Cancelled cap-and-trade & Green Energy Act ("Ford's first act as premier was winding down Ontario's cap-and-trade program, which caps greenhouse emissions while allowing major polluters to buy and trade exemptions in the form of carbon credits. ... As a result, a $100-million school repair fund was also cancelled.")
   
5. Halted opening of safe-injection sites
   
6. Cancelled Ontario's basic income pilot (before it had a chance to report on whether it was less or more expensive than welfare)
   
7. Fired CEO of Hydro One and board
   
8. Reviewing Fair Workplace and Better Jobs Act
   
9. Rolled back Pharmacare
   
10. Opened door to private weed sales
    

Plenty of tearing down social infrastructure, not a lot of building replacements...
