A letter to the editor expresses concern about Ontario Premier Doug Ford's leadership, comparing him to former US President Donald Trump and criticizing his policies, including an early election call, handling of tariffs, expansion of parliamentary assistants, and disregard for public needs.
I do hope the Ontario voters can see through the suggested need stated by our current Ontario Premier Doug Ford . This is an unabashed deception to the voters in Ontario.
It would appear to me that Trump and Ford have a lot in common. Neither believes in democratic rule. They both want to rule, making all the decisions without any opposition. Ford announced the list on Wednesday. The appointments mean that, in addition to Ford's 30-member cabinet, 73 out of 83 MPPs in the Progressive Conservative caucus have been given additional roles in the government and pay boosts to match.
Ford shut down the fall sitting of the Ontario legislature a week early in December, 2024. His government had refused to address the failing government services because of funding reductions by the ruling Ontario Conservatives. The Health system in Ontario is a shambles. Five million Ontarians have no doctor.
