Ford’s Secret Flights and Jet Saga | Ottawa News
Description
Premier Doug Ford allegedly racked up costly OPP flights across Ontario—visiting Windsor, Kingston, and North Bay in a single day—just as his government was finalizing a $22 million private jet purchase. While he publicly claimed to have zero personal expenses and criticized MPPs for hotel costs, the true cost of those flights remained hidden. Critics argue this behavior signals a culture of entitlement, especially since Ford reportedly treated the jet as a foregone conclusion before it was even official. The jet was later sold back to Bombardier for nearly $30 million, fueling accusations of wastefulness and hypocrisy, with the NDP calling it a “sense of entitlement” amid broader scrutiny of provincial spending.
