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.
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.
