In an attempt to limit "blowback" over any internal decision-making, the Ford government is limiting who will be subject to the FOI process.
A decision the NDP is calling "bullshit."

Ontario’s transparency watchdog says the Ford government’s planned overhaul of freedom of information laws is a “shocking” proposal designed to hide the premier’s cellphone records from the public.

Here’s an example of the information the Ford government’s new FOI rules would have voided.

🧵 Should the decision to rush the closure of the Ontario Science Centre have been secret?
It was freedom of information requests to a minister's office that revealed the move was planned more than a week earlier, but rushed out to hide behind the long weekend. #OnPoli

"I want to be premier forever," Doug Ford says as his government starts to face agitation from his right flank amid softer polling numbers.
Last year he was asked whether the 2025 election was his last - Ford was asked the same question again today.

Why not? It’s a good gig for him. Half a year of vacation and when Queen’s Park sits he’s there once a week for 30 minutes. You gotta love all the Ford supporters that say teachers are overpaid and have too much time off again 😂😂😂 - classic comedy

Doug described the Ontario Place Protectors group as a “bunch of crazy lefties that want to protect one bird, two trees or three birds.” Remember his govt had 860 Ont Pl trees cut down under the cover of night & shredded on the spot? Who’s the crazy one?😵💫

Ontario’s struggling universities and colleges are again sounding the alarm, begging the Ford government to set aside billions more for post-secondary education.

The only reason to use a personal device would be to try and avoid FOI laws and regulations.
Ford's government is, arguably, the most corrupt government in the history of Ontario.
NEW: A former Ford gov't staffer at the centre of the Greenbelt scandal is taking Ontario’s privacy watchdog to court to fight a legal order requiring him to be questioned under oath about his use of personal emails to conduct government business
