Ford Is Shielding Himself From Freedom of Information Requests. 61% of Ontarians Oppose It. Even a Majority of His Own Voters Want It Stopped.

Three separate polls show roughly two-thirds of Ontarians oppose Doug Ford's plan to exempt himself, cabinet ministers, and their offices from FOI requests. Among decided voters, the opposition rises to 77%. Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner says the changes will make the province less transparent than any other jurisdiction in Canada.
