      As much as I think most of the reaction to any Doug Ford news are a mixture of theatrics and hyperbolics, old Doug’s gonna have a tough time justifying this one.

      Doug Ford does not need a private jet. This is an attempt by him to live a 1%er lifestyle on the taxpayer dime. Ford literally got a gravy jet

      Ford’s arrogance and entitlement is starting to show between this announcement and his Mickey Mouse-unbeatable comment the other day.

      I’m so mad, I can’t even express myself. My health is going down the toilet, my family doesn’t have a doctor. I’m so sick of this. Schools understaffed. I’m so mad.

      The problem with Ford using taxpayer money to buy a plane for the Premier’s use is that it cuts into his brand and his brother’s coattails he came in on, being extremely critical of any politician spending money on anything that looks like a perk. Rob Ford used to do videos of himself cutting up his free memberships he got as a councillor. Now, after eight years in office and his third majority Doug’s becoming very comfortable to the point where he’s buying a plane to ride around in.

      I remember in opposition when the PC Party used to complain bitterly about how Ontario was the most indebted sub sovereign jurisdiction in North America. Now that debt is $100 billion higher than when the Liberals were in office and Ford is buying a plane.

      Do our Premiers need private jets? It has to be cheaper to get a charter flight for the few times the Premier needs to travel out of the province each year. Looks like a very self-indulgent purchase. It shouldn’t be too hard for opposition parties to take advantage of this, but they haven’t shown any ability to take advantage of a generally corrupt and inactive government, so I have my doubts.

      For a man who made his political career drifting off his brother’s everyman populism and calling every politician to his left guilty of riding the „gravy train“ on the taxpayer’s dime, he sure is revealing himself to be a massive hypocrite.

      Gravy…jet?

      Ford can already fly business class to wherever he needs to that justifies a plane, there’s no reason he needs a private jet of all things, especially when so many other things in Ontario desperately need the funds.

      OK, so now in addition to the $29m cost for the plane, the province is now also on the hook for the cost of the pilot, the cost of the crew, any maintenance and fuel, and storage.

      What does this allow him to do that he could not already do with commercial flights and/or his custom RV that he bought in his first term?
