Marit Stiles attributes Doug Ford’s desire to change the Freedom of Information Act to the court ruling requiring him to share his phone records connected to the Green Belt land scandal where developers who were friends of Doug provided his minister with a list of land they wanted to develop on. 92% of the land on the list was subsequently opened up by Doug’s government for development. It is posited that his phone records will reveal damning evidence in this regard.

It is long but worth watching if you want to get a sense for Marit Stiles’ style. Rehearsed but still she seems far more professional and capable of leading a competent government that focuses on the needs of the people of Ontario than Doug.

Marit Stiles from the Ontario NDP talks about recent findings from the Information and Privacy Commissioner about what Ford has been up to. She highlights how the commissioner basically said it's one of the least transparent governments in the history of the province. The government has been making it harder for the public to access information by using private emails and personal phones to conduct official business which skirts around the freedom of information laws. She explains that such lack of accountability is a major concern because it prevents people from knowing how their tax dollars are being spent or how big decisions are actually being made. Ford's culture of secrecy is a direct hit to the democratic process in Ontario.

Ford is a corrupt piece of shit.
