Episode Details

Ontario’s government quietly shut down a freedom of information request about speed cameras—just as Premier Doug Ford’s anti-camera crusade heats up. Filed in September 2025, the request sought data on how cameras affect speed and revenue, but after months of silence, the Ministry responded in April 2026, citing newly retroactive transparency laws that let ministers hide records. Critics see this as a calculated move to bury the very evidence that might have shaped Ford’s “cash grab” stance—especially since the rules were announced in March 2025 and applied backward. When public accountability is weaponized to protect political narratives, it’s not just inconvenient—it’s dangerous.
