Yup, that's exactly what a corrupt politician would do

That’s like… that’s like an open admission that they plan to do corrupt things.
I mean imagine if your contractor said, “Well, I’d like to do this job for you but I want you to agree that you don’t need a quote and you won’t hire an inspector to check my work.” Or if your dealer at a casino said “Let me just deal the hands out behind this screen here where you can’t see what I’m doing, trust me bro.”
Transparency is the only thing that keeps politicians or business people honest.
When they openly say they don’t want transparency, they are telling us that they plan to be dishonest. It’s that simple.
What's he hiding?
In case you didn't remember the cons still ran Ontario...
If our taxes are paying you we have a right to know.
Through the process, the government has admitted Ford uses his personal phone for government business, but argued it would be an invasion of his privacy to release it.
Then don't do public business on a private device.
The exemptions would be retroactive
Makes me think that they must have got wind of a FOI request that requests some info that they really don’t want to get out
The proposed changes follow the government’s loss of a court battle, initially launched by Global News, over the call logs for Premier Doug Ford’s personal cellphone, which he uses for government business.
I'm putting my money on kickbacks relating to Ontario Place.
"Ontario still sliding towards authoritarianism", this and other obvious news at 5.
There is obviously something bad that has already been identified by an FOI request that they don't want to be made public. There's no other conceivable reason to do this at all, and there is no possible way this can be of any benefit to taxpayers or residents of Ontario at all.
we have to see who in the press asked for an FOI and what about.
But FFS Ontario, what do you see in this guy? Is is sex appeal?
Fucking laughable, we already do
Do you have specific examples? Or is this a commentary on just how much you can afford to spend on a legal team?
Anyone with "generational trauma"?
So maybe I'm very misinformed, but I'm unsure how this is an example of different rules. Care to elaborate? I can generously grant that social pressure/policy/issues don't provide supports but the legal framework doesn't to my knowledge favour any one class (aside from how much you want to spend on a legal team), and further, such effects are often taken into consideration by judges (if and when it gets that far).
Who’s gunna stop them, another sub-50% voter turnout because the Canadian electorate ranges from insane conservative morons to completely uninformed “moderates” with only a small amount of progressives who often get easily scared into letting the center and right get away with shit like this?
100% corruption
4 more years!
Followed by endless accusations of corruption and negligence once the next Premier takes office. Of course, they're ignoring blatant corruption like the green belt scandal, the closing of the Science Centre and the 95 year contract with Therme, and the $200 cheques issued before the last election to buy votes.
Ontarians wouldn't allow Ford to stay if they stopped incorrectly associating health care with the federal government.
