Huh, Ford wins again in 2027?
Odd AI-generated story predicts another victory in two years
I found this strange story just sitting on my computer screen when I got up this morning. I’m not sure if it was written by Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, or perhaps like an old Disney movie the mice came out last night.
Anyway, I am pleased to present it for your consideration.
January 30, 2027
Premier Doug Ford has won a record fourth straight majority in Ontario, despite calling an election two years early and holding it during a blizzard that struck most of the province.
Ford said he needed a strong mandate so he could take on Prime Minister Karina Gould.
“Folks, she keeps talking about stuff I don’t understand, I need your support so I can make her explain her ideas in simple language,” Ford said when he kicked off the election.
Ford campaigned on several key initiatives that he had rolled out since the last election, just two years ago, including many that affect local residents.
Last summer construction started on the Garfield Weston Private Medical Facility in Campbellford. The facility, which will provide services formerly done at Campbellford Memorial Hospital, will be operated by Shoppers Drug Mart. Patients, called customers, will be encouraged to bring their own food from No Frills or a Loblaws Superstore. Ford has denied rumours that pat.. sorry, customers, will be ferried around the halls in yellow grocery carts.
Digging is under way for the Hector Macmillan tunnel that will link Second and Almas Streets under the Trent River. Plans for a bridge were shelved in 2025 when Ford ordered that all new provincial roadways should be underground. The tunnel scheme also dropped plans for a bicycle lane, since they are now illegal.
Residents who can’t find an affordable place to rent are being offered free accommodation at sites formerly known as Loyalist and Sir Sandford Fleming colleges, or Trent and Ontario Tech universities. Space became open in 2026 when Ford closed all post-secondary institutions saying: “I never went beyond high school, I don’t see why you folks need to either. Didn’t your father give you a business to run?”
Ford spent much of the two-week campaign in Washington trying unsuccessfully to get a meeting with President Elon Musk to push for a new Tesla plant in Oshawa, or a SpaceX landing station in Sudbury. Musk’s young assistants countered with a proposed facility for The Boring Company, another Musk company, that he wants to locate in Kingston, where he attended Queen’s University.
“We could turn the Limestone City into Swiss cheese,” Musk bragged on Xittter.

I think maybe we should both have switched to writing fiction a while ago.
Wow. These are both highly entertaining. Wild.
