Opinion: Are we supposed to pretend Doug Ford’s $200 ‘rebate’ isn’t a pre-election bribe?

Other premiers have sent constituents rebate cheques, but as a bonus from a surplus. Mr. Ford’s government is billions of dollars in the red

    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.
