NEW: Premier Ford is making it illegal to resell tickets in Ontario for more than their original cost.

This comes almost 7 years after his own government scrapped a law that would have capped resale prices at 50% above face value.

Here’s what he said in Oct when I asked why:

From the Globe and Mail's Robyn Urback:

"The deluge of inconsequential announcements seems intended to distract from the Premier’s move to change freedom of information laws to exempt himself, his cabinet ministers and their offices from public requests."

Being scrutinized is an integral part of the job of public service.

Doug Ford is changing a law to shield politicians from scrutiny https://t.co/8mqoRRexrj via @torontostar

Global News has been engaged in a years-long transparency battle with Premier Doug Ford's office over his cell phone records.

The government has lost a battle in court.

The government is now changing the rules to neutralize the FOI.

While Premier Ford blasts PM Carney for his “terrible, miscalculated” EV deal with China, opposition leaders say he should’ve been at the table: “where was Doug Ford?”

Meanwhile, GM auto workers are bracing for layoffs: “we’re not gonna be able to compete with Chinese imports.”

Before the game, I had the chance to speak to (most) of Davis' family who made the trip to LA, about him living his dream playing in the World Series. They are all so kind and funny. You can help but root for all of them.

Edmonton Oilers’ Stanley Cup run may be providing a small bump, but Canadians visiting Florida down 20% since winter: tourism official https://t.co/A5ZiJnNaCL

[CityNews Toronto @CityNewsTO]

Oilers fans may be in Florida this week to cheer on Connor McDavid and Edmonton in the Stanley Cup final, but that’s the only reason some of them are visiting the United States. https://t.co/1TFYL1tTc3

Don’t know about you, but I’d pay CASH MONEY to have either of these jokers show me around Toronto, circa ‘78.
