Doug Ford, Ontario Man
About this episode
The episode discusses insights gained from six years of observing Doug Ford's governance in Ontario.
After six years of Doug-wagging, Allison and Jonathan have learned a few things. Like how “Ontario,” as a concept, is even more inscrutable than “Toronto” or “Canada.” And how most disasters are not just foreseeable but have in fact been foreseen. But perhaps most disconcerting of all: that Doug Ford actually knows what he’s doing — or conversely, that he doesn’t have to know what he’s doing, because he understands this province better than any of us.
