This is nitpicky, but if I hear "hey hey ho ho Doug Ford has got to go" one more time, I'm gonna lose it. A) it's very wordy and tough to do in complete unison, B) it's generic as hell.

I think we should take a page out of soccer hooligans' books and get a bit more creative with it.

Just spiralling spit balling here,and this is obviously Toronto specific (sorry) but how about something like "you're not the mayor of Toronto (x3), and you can't buy the job (or 'and you'll never be Rob')" to the tune of solidarity forever?

Or "Dougie fucking sucks" to the tune of "Lizzy's in a box" or something idk

Something people can get stuck in their heads, y'know?

This report just dropped. Here are the 5 most alarming findings from Ontario Auditor General Shelley Spence’s special report on large commercial truck driver licensing:

🚨 1. Trucks Are Massively Over-Represented in Fatal Crashes
Large commercial trucks accounted for 12% of vehicles involved in fatal collisions in Ontario from 2019 to 2023, despite representing only 3% of vehicles on the road.  That’s four times their share — and the problem is especially severe in northern Ontario.

🚨 2. Training Schools Are Cutting Corners — Dramatically
Undercover auditors found that two private career colleges delivered only 59.5 and 81 hours of the mandatory minimum of 103.5 training hours. Two undercover students were never taught critical skills like left turns at major intersections, reverse parking, and emergency stopping. 

🚨 3. Fraudulent Records — and Schools Still Operating Illegally
Between 2019 and 2024, the Ministry found that three registered private career colleges had falsified or altered student training records, four had no records proving students completed required training components, and three simply didn’t teach all required elements.  On top of that, six unregistered private career colleges that had been investigated were still booking tests and handing out driver training certificates despite not being permitted to do so. 

🚨 4. A Quarter of Schools Have Never Been Inspected
As of March 2025, the ministry had never inspected 54 of the 216 registered private career colleges actively offering entry-level commercial truck training   — that’s 25%. The two ministries responsible also have no process to share inspection findings with each other, effectively handcuffing potential enforcement action. 

🚨 5. Road Tests Don’t Test Highway Driving — At Highway Speeds
The auditor found that truckers’ driving tests did not assess all highway manoeuvres at actual highway speeds.  Neither ministry monitored training outcomes such as road test pass or fail rates, post-licensing driving infraction rates, or collision rates  — meaning dangerous drivers can slip through with no accountability or tracking.

The province has accepted all 13 recommendations, but the Auditor General’s office won’t follow up on implementation for another two years. In the meantime, these undertrained drivers are sharing Ontario’s roads with everyone.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
