Doug Ford may very well be the most scrutinized person in Ontario, debatable but possible.
It is also true that no one else in Ontario has the ability to blow $29M taxdollars on a whimsy.
Still, I can see why Doug needs special transport. He is the Premier and should have that extra.
But it can be done with existing stock, no need to buy him his own toy.
And if the response is that it can’t be done with existing stock then I say that is where the problem lies, the idea that the government can’t get it’s act together long enough to arrange transport for the premier.
Maybe he was gonna fly it through the tunnel he was gonna build under the 401 ?
What about the good old Ab Gov? (Alison Redford)

You can almost *hear* the Trump-style whiny tone just by reading this headline, it’s amazing. If Ford is displeased by the level of scrutiny under which he finds himself, he could perhaps consider reducing his egregiously-screaming-for-scrutiny shenanigans just a little bit? We could all use a break, especially him, I don’t know how he finds enough hours in the day for all the scamming.
He could have funded a full time NP in every urban ER in Ontario with that kind of cash, slashing wait times for care. It’s such an insane waste of money considering the low hanging unaddressed challenges we have.
Change the name ford to Trump, and Canada to USA and you wouldn’t know the difference. He’s gonna sell it to a friend for less than was paid, and then claim it to a „win“.
He compared his 30 million dollar jet to the federal jets (for transatlantic flights) bought to ferry government officials, bring home wounded soldiers, assist in humanitarian missions. Or the Quebec planes meant to hospital trips…
This dude is fucking stupid and he thinks everyone else is dumber than he is.
They are literally hoping people in this province don’t realize Ontario already owns planes for this and why does he need a plane that can go to the uk for travelling in Ontario.
If he acted in the people’s interest maybe the scrutiny wouldn’t be so intense. But everything he does is to line his own pockets and those of his friends. It’s so blatantly obvious. And he hates having it pointed out. No wonder he likes Trump so much.
Sir, you are spending 30 million tax payer dollars on a jet during a time of economic uncertainty. Our largest trade partner was JUST threatening us with economic takeover. Yes, we will scrutinize you spending 30 million dollars on an unnecessary extravagance. Read the room.
The man who made his entire political brand on yelling about ‚Stop the Gravy Train!‘ is upset when he decides he wants his own Gravy Plane?
scrutinizing the financial decisions of the person responsible for a $160bn budget who also has an integrity commissioner finding against him demonstrating that he used the power of his office to enrich his personal business is good, actually
