What a clown.
Here we go. Sold incredibly cheap to an OPC ally or groups where it’ll end up back in the hands of Ford for next to nothing down the road after he leaves office. That’s my guess.
Snip snap snip snap
Who did he buy this plane from? Was it one of his buddies?
Clearly he tried to fly the plane under the radar.
Stealthy.
Only because he was caught with his hands in the cookie jar
Good that he reversed course. Concerning that he needed to be told.
Why would he need a plane? He already had unlimited flights. Whats with these politicians? No wonder entire country is no longer repairable
You know what would make too much sense here?
Releasing a business case that could demonstrate a cost savings rationale.
As in “we spent X on commercial airfare over the past 10 years , whereas the purchase price, maintenance and fuel would cost Y over 10 years. If X>Y, buy the plane.”
But … Of course they didn’t, this is government after all.
It would be on brand if he sold it at a loss.
That 30 mil aircraft could have been 1 extra bed in a hospital for a year based on how efficient health care is run.
Pathetic. And we haven’t forgotten the FOI legislation either.
He’s always had Trump-style inclinations, but the last six months have seen him go „all in“ to mimic the orange buffoon. Nothing wrong with the odd mis-step and course correction, but this feels closer to TACO behaviour. If he had a solid reason to buy a jet for the Premier’s business, why not make the case? If there was no solid reason, then it smells like he’s acting and thinking like an entitled king.
He better not sell it at a loss. What a worthless piece of garbage.
Watch Ford back off the whole push for jets on Billy Bishop airport, he doesn’t need it since he won’t have a plane anymore
Oh so it was a flip to launder money
I’m sure they’ll sell it for a profit. Hahaha
I’d have more respect for him if he just say F it I’m keeping it. Not he comes across as weak and stupid.
Amazing how the sunlight of disclosure makes people make rational decisions.
To his buddy for 1/2 the price
We can not afford Doug Ford.
Ontarians let this man run the province to the ground because he’s Conservative. Surely Conservatives wouldn’t be bad at finances and would make good financial decisions. Right?!
Just looked up a challenger 650 interior….. must be nice, as 99% of us fly economy….
Atleast Carney removed the jet tax. Saved ford 3 million
Behold, another Ford government move that he initiated and then almost immediately rolled back after actually considering the outcome.
Who needs a $29 million dollar plane in a world that has Zoom, Web Ex, and Teams?
What an absolute putz.
Stop voting for conservatives! Anything is better than them. Even the Liberals!
I wish I could downvote your comment multiple times. Healthcare, Education, funding for children with Autism, and Mental Health are all getting gutted when this man puts a force field around accountability (FOI). Lobbyists OWN this man. He has no principals. It was the blowback for his tone deaf decision. May I add we aren’t done with the Greenbelt fiasco?!?
There’s no way that they get as much as they paid for it back
As an Ontarian, I don’t mind the private jet, as long as we all get to use it. It’s owned by us taxpayers after all.
Doug Ford had his TACO moment on the weekend 😂
I know a guy that might want a second jet to dodge the horrorshow that is Canadian commercial aviation. He’s just gotta do some more girl math about it, though.
What a sad state of affairs
As long as they sell it for what the bought it for.
