Doug Ford won't take action to lower the price of groceries, won't build affordable housing, and is underfunding our healthcare and education systems.
But a private jet? That's his top priority.
NEW: The Ontario government has purchased a used $28.9 million private jet for the use of Premier Doug Ford, the @TorontoStar has learned. The 2016 Bombardier Challenger 650 was delivered this week.

Ottawa Fire on the scene of a Working Fire in the 300 block of Murray Street at Beausoleil Drive. The fire has been contained to a partially covered storage area. @OttFire#Ottawanews#ottawa
A fast and coordinated response by Firefighters prevented a balcony fire from spreading inside a high-rise on McArthur Avenue in Vanier last night.
At approximately 19:39, the Ottawa Fire Services Communications Division received a call from a monitoring agency reporting active fire alarms at a high-rise building in the 100 block of McArthur Avenue. This was quickly followed by multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting a fire on the fourth floor.
Firefighters arrived on scene within four minutes of dispatch and confirmed a working fire on a fourth-floor balcony, with residents evacuating the building.
Crews quickly advanced to the fourth floor, where they were met by a tenant who provided access to the affected unit. Firefighters rapidly extinguished the balcony fire, preventing it from extending into the unit or other areas of the building. The fire was brought under control and contained to the balcony by 19:53, just nine minutes after crews arrived on scene.
Following extinguishment, Firefighters ventilated the unit and building using high-powered fans. Air quality was monitored and confirmed to be safe.
No injuries were reported, and all residents were able to safely return to their units. No displacement is expected as a result of the fire. #OttNews
