A wedding fundraiser for the premier's daughter had already prompted very different questions about inappropriate influence
EDITOR’S NOTE: This article originally appeared on The Trillium, a new Village Media website devoted exclusively to covering provincial politics at Queen’s Park.
Opposition parties at Queen's Park have seized on the reporting to decry the relationship between Premier Doug Ford and developers who have benefited from government decisions and the ethics of the premier hosting an event that people with an interest in influencing the government paid his family to attend."There were no women there at this event," she told the press at Queen's Park, attributing her information to "sources" who spoke with her.
"It was just a bit of a weird environment, in terms of getting that exclusive access — and it was a bunch of men — to the premier," she said. Ford has not answered but told reporters asking similar questions that "the boys took care of that." CBC later reported that Ford was referring to his son-in-law and his friends.
