Ontario Premier Doug Ford is mimicking Trump's authoritarian style by attempting to retroactively restrict access to information. Instead of addressing urgent issues like housing, healthcare, homelessness, and education, he floods the narrative with culture war distractions, all while scandals like the Greenbelt and Skills Development Fund loom over his administration. This is a critical moment for Ontario and democracy itself. Join former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and host Laura Babcock for a candid and inspiring conversation about the challenges we face, both locally and globally. Your voice matters—comment, share, and subscribe to stay informed and involved. Together, we can stand up for democracy and ensure our leaders are held accountable!
