Stiles: “An honest government doesn’t change the rules to hide from the public.”
QUEEN’S PARK — Official Opposition Leader Marit Stiles is blasting Doug Ford’s move to exempt himself, and his cabinet ministers’ offices from Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
“Doug Ford is changing the rules so he can hide the truth from Ontarians,” said Stiles.
“Under these rules, it would have been impossible to uncover this government’s Greenbelt corruption, their Las Vegas massages, or their preferential treatment for the multi-billion dollar private spa at Ontario Place.
“The Premier shouldn’t forget that his government is under active RCMP criminal investigation, and when the RCMP come knocking, these cloak-and-dagger rules won’t protect the government. They’ll have warrants.
“An honest government doesn’t change the rules to hide from the public. But Doug Ford’s government does.”

She can blow off all the steam she wants, but the voters have given Ford a legit majority. She may be the “Leader of the Opposition” but is there really any opposition?
I have to agree with Ms. Stiles and the two commenters so far. We seem in Ontario to have quickly inherited some of the baser governmental behaviours of our southern neighbours. Disgusting!
It has been time for a change at the provincial level for some time now. Ford is acting a lot like Trump!!
I’m a conservative supporter and I agree with Styles on this! Ford needs to can this piece of legislation asap!
