Wag The Doug

The Ford Government's first budget is out. They call it "Protecting What Matters Most." We spend eight hours locked in a room with bureaucrats, reporters and cheap pizza to find out what exactly does matter most to Doug, once you put a dollar sign on it.

An old friend of the Ford family has been appointed to head the Ontario Provincial Police, a job many consider him to be under-qualified for. We look back to Doug's history with Ron Taverner, as well as the group of unofficial advisors who surrounded the Fords for years.   Plus, we introduce a new segment called... wait for it... "For the People."   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informat...

We visit Ford Fest, where people wait for burgers and juice boxes in the dark as a white supremacist takes a selfie with the premier. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Doug Ford won't let some silly Charter get in his way! Just two and a half months in, he's poised to use a rare and extreme measure to win a petty legal battle. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Two months in, the Ford government just lost their first lawsuit. What makes it even more humiliating is they lost to Elon Musk.   There are many other legal battles in the works. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's only been a month.   Queen's Park Today publisher Allison Smith follows every move Doug Ford makes. CANADALAND news editor Jonathan Goldsbie covered him for years as a City Hall reporter. They're here to make sense of the chaos of the new Ford era.   We will keep making this podcast if you want to hear it. So if you want episode 2, tell us!
