    >Ontario has purchased a $28.9-million private jet for Premier Doug Ford, which the government says is needed for more flexible and secure travel.

    I have one word! Totally unacceptable!

    I mean two words! Un Acceptable!

    Why would the Premier of Toronto need a jet? Is the traffic to his cottage really that bad? Have all the billions spent on expanding the 401 over the years been for naught?

    /s

    but we cant afford public grocery stores for low income people ,its socialism communism . while he can buy himself a jet with public taxes he is a crook ….

    Certainly tone deaf.

    I wonder how much they were racking up in chartered jets though.

    Does anyone have his travel schedule over the last several years?

    My impression is the guy barely leaves the GTA-South-Western Ontario region, why the fuck does he need a jet?

    Who TF authorized this outside of Doug’s office?

    He has zero requirements for a private jet. They typically cost at the low end $2-3M USD per year to maintain, and it sounds like he’s bought himself a fairly large jet.

    (Article was paywalled, read it elsewhere now) It’s a Challenger 650 which is going to cost taxpayers a significant amount of money to store and run (I betcha that’s why he’s making a stink about the island).

    Oooof, how can we stop this?

    Gotta get down to Texas for meetings with the folks at Waste Management a lil quicker.

    I thought this was a Beaverton article. WTF?

    ETA: Public inquiry right fucking now, please.

  11. theminifrenchie on

    Ahhhh now Ontario taking Billy Bishop from the City of Toronto to allow for jets is starting to make more sense!

  12. Wab Kinew (Manitoba Premier) was on my Porter flight this week. Not even business class.

    Its probably easier for him though, since his constituents actually like him.

    Meanwhile we have a bad homeless situation happening and this asshole needs a plane. Fuck him and fuck the conservative government.

  14. Honestly, seeing this from an a-political perspective. Ontario is huge. Does not have a lot of commercial flights that could accommodate a very revolving schedule in and out of northern and western Ontario. The more remote the less access those communities have to, our politicians. The Ontario provincial police have two of their own planes to fly in and out of these areas.

    If this means he can be in those northern and western communities, ring of fire etc sure I see the value (while slight). I think timing is terrible, and tone deaf in the current economic environment… but I can understand it if this is only being used for strictly provincial government use. He represents a very large province and those areas need attention.

    You have to look at it. What does it cost us to get his security detail and the individuals in salary dollars he needs to join them on a commercial flight. Also now hotels being booked up. Food etc.. How flexible is that schedule and can you be in multiple places in the same day? Also, he has access to those remote communities easier now than he has before.

    What I worry about is if takes his buddies on a flight for a piss up to Muskoka.

    #Corrupt premier says there’s no money for schools or healthcare, but bought himself a private jet and it going to destroy an island so he has a private airport for it. 

  16. 808noHeartbreaks on

    So this is where all the healthcare/education cuts, and the thermea/greenbelt bribes are going… also explains the extension of Billy Bishop. 🤔🤔🤔

    “The gravy train is over. Bring forth the gravy plane!”

    Seems suspiciously convenient that he wants an island airport expansion for jets in Toronto.

    No money to repair the science centre roof repair or other staples for the community like mental health, healthcare and education but plenty of money to pay penalties on breaking beer store contracts to get beer in convenience stores, highway tunnels so he can get around faster, removing conservation to build property development.

    But hey here’s 200 bucks for the peasants though.

    Alberta used to have a private jet for the premiere. Actually 4 for government use, until 2015 when they were sold off after numerous scandals by the conservative government, using them for private use. Even going as far as booking all the seats for the premiere’s use, so other government officials going to the same location had to fly commercial, and then cancelling the other seats so she’d have it all to her self, and her family.

    There is no need for a provincial government to have a private jet.

    JFC. Now Danielle Smith is going to insist that she absolutely needs one to get to Mar A Lago, Panama and to visit her Buddy Sam Mraiche’s contacts in Saudi Arabia.

  20. AVeryPlumPlum on

    If/when we elect a different party to lead Ontario, cue Conservative outrage over use of the jet.

  21. I asked for travel expemses for a specialist appoinment 117 km away and had to jump thru hoops with ODSP. NOW I know why
