Doug Ford’s party with taxpayer dollars continues with $30 million private jet

QUEEN’S PARK — Marit Stiles, Leader of the Official Opposition, is slamming Doug Ford for his latest luxury haul: a taxpayer-funded $30 million private jet:

“While Ford puts his hands in the taxpayer’s pocket to buy himself a private jet and build luxury spas, families are struggling to buy groceries,” said Stiles.

“Ford ran on a promise to stop the gravy train only to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on his gravy plane. This is ridiculous.”

In 2019, the Premier boasted that he was the “only Premier in history” to not use government planes to save taxpayers money.

“$30 million could mean more support for kids in classrooms, more homes in our communities, or more people getting the health care they need. Instead, Doug is buying a private luxury jet.

“Ford needs to answer to the people of Ontario: Why is he using their hard-earned money to buy himself a plane?

“Maybe it’s time to start flying economy like the rest of us.”
