BREAKING: Ontarioās Information and Piracy Commissioner weighs in on premier Doug Ford changes to the FOI:
āThis amendment is about hiding government-related business to evade public accountability.ā
On Doug Fordās use of a private cell phone for govāt business:
The Government of Ontario is currently seeking leave to appeal a court ruling that unanimously upheld my office's order to produce call logs from the Premier's personal cellphone that relate to government business.
This is to ensure independent examination to determine whether they may be subject to access under the law.
Based on evidence showing that the Premier routinely uses his personal phone to conduct government business, it is likely that they are.
By changing the law retroactively, the government's message is plain: if oversight bodies get in the way, just change the rules.

Weāve been getting a ton of reports from across Southern Ontario about a strange glowing ābowtieā shape in the night sky. No, itās not UFOs, but it is something pretty cool.
What you saw was actually the exhaust plume from the upper stage of United Launch Allianceās Vulcan rocket, launched from Cape Canaveral at 8:56 PM ET for the USSF-106 mission. The unique shape comes from its dual-engine Centaur V stage, and because it was high enough to still catch sunlight, it lit up beautifully against the dark sky.
Space is wild sometimes - and itās even better when we get front-row seats here on Earth.
Did you catch it?

Ford has just found a way to put himself above the law.
