Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government is planning to skip public hearings to pass its omnibus budget bill that contains a retroactive clampdown on access to his cellphone records.
The retroactive FOI law would shield Ford and cabinet members — along with their offices — from public access to documents, with Ford admitting that part of the rationale is to kill a request from Global News to obtain his cellphone records.
Two questions:
- How is this legal?
- Why do Ontario voters keep this guy in office?
Alberta is batshit crazy, Saskatchewan is apparently full of assholes, and Ontario seems to want this. There arw not a lot of decent places left to live on this continent.
Mexico just got universal healthcare.
And in the meantime Canada is soon approaching a time when all healthcare will become for-profit like in the US, and the whole ‘we never could have afforded it in the first place. It was always a bad idea’ by both Libs and Cons will start to be spouted.

And many, many others.
How is this legal?
He leads the law makers.
Why do Ontario voters keep this guy in office?
Because Ontario is cold Florida full of MAGAs, and the majority of people don’t vote and prefer to take it up the ass.
This should be a major ethics violation. I am amazed parliamentary procedures allow it. Maybe the lieutenant governor can be persuaded to refuse to sign it.
(2) In bulk Canadians are only a hair ahead of americans in decision making skills. And a quiet minority makes a lot of money with Ford at the wheel.
(1) That quiet minority makes sure it will never be investigated.
The more he fights trump the more he becomes like him. He looked into the abyss for way too long.
They were never that different. Ford just didn’t think he could get away with it before Trump showed him.
