Doug Ford just scheduled a late-night legislative sitting to ram through a law that would permanently hide his phone records from the public.

They're literally trying to do this in the dark. Hoping no one's watching.

Here's what's happening:

Ford's government is under active RCMP criminal investigation for the Greenbelt scandal.

Journalists have been fighting for three years to get Ford's phone records. Three judges ruled he has to hand them over.

So what did Ford do? He changed the law so he doesn't have to.

And now? He's scheduling late-night sittings to ram it through before anyone can stop it.

I imagine it would be challenged in court.

That is pretty much guaranteed

That could take years.

That is also guaranteed. By the time it's settled, Dougie and his cronies will be long retired.
