URGENT: Write to the Lieutenant Governor demanding her withhold the FOI ban!
While Bill 97 passed, it still needs to receive Royal Assent, which the Lieutenant Governor does.
It may be worth contacting her.

Feel free to do your own message if you prefer.
Your Honour,
I am an Ontario resident deeply concerned about the state of our democracy. I urge you to withhold consent of Bill 97 .
Our premier is making a law to stop him from complying with an order from the Court to hand over his phone records.
This is infringement on our rights as Canadians and taxpayers under the constitution.
Such shady changes to Freedom of Information should never receive Royal Assent.
I implore you to do the right thing for the people of Ontario, and do what is ethical and just and withhold this bill.
Kind regards,
[your name]

Damn this seems pretty bad. Good luck fighting back Canadians!
Please stop imitating us, Canada.
He must have been fixing the elections for him to need to try this hard to hide it.
replies:
Whether you agree with this or not, considering it's already in place in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Quebec there is no way the Lieutenant Governor would refuse to sign the bill.

Also, Ford quietly tossed the law requiring an election every four years. Now it's 5 years. Next ontario election isn't til April 2030
