Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government is planning to skip public hearings to pass its omnibus budget bill that contains a retroactive clampdown on access to his cellphone records.

The retroactive FOI law would shield Ford and cabinet members — along with their offices — from public access to documents, with Ford admitting that part of the rationale is to kill a request from Global News to obtain his cellphone records.

How is this legal?

He leads the law makers.

Why do Ontario voters keep this guy in office?

Because Ontario is cold Florida full of MAGAs, and the majority of people don't vote and prefer to take it up the ass.

This should be a major ethics violation. I am amazed parliamentary procedures allow it. Maybe the lieutenant governor can be persuaded to refuse to sign it.
