This is how dipsocracies are made.

The word “dipsocracy” combines two Greek roots: dipso- meaning “thirst,” cf. “dipsomania,” and -cracy meaning “rule,” cf. “democracy.”

Ontario under Doug Ford is a textbook example of a dipsocracy.

Dipstickocracy is more like it.

No issue is too small to catch Doug's attention!

Somali community centre plan in Etobicoke park facing uncertainty after Doug Ford sides with upset residents

With political opposition mounting, it looks increasingly likely the centre won't be built at Buttonwood Park, and could be moved to a new site.

Honestly it seems more like a consultation failure on the part of the city despite the Ford article title.

However, Buttonwood Park wasn’t revealed as the preferred location until June, just days before a recommendation to approve an initial 30-year land lease with SCCR was set to go to a meeting of Chow’s executive.

Residents taken off guard by the proposal voiced their anger at the June 18 meeting, and the mayor — who voted for the plan in April — agreed that “somehow the process got messed up, and the community didn’t understand or know that it was happening.” Her committee deferred consideration of the plan at least until this month.

With the councilors and Ford supporting a new location, the community centre will definitely find a new location nearby.
