As civil servants raced to finalize the purchase of a private jet for Ontario’s premier, Doug Ford was crisscrossing the province on an OPP plane.
Schedules obtained by Global News using freedom of information laws reveal that, in a month and a half, Ford took four short-haul domestic flights on the plane and chartered a jet to travel to Texas.
Between early March and mid-April, Ford flew in and out of Windsor, Kingston, North Bay and Ottawa in a single day on separate occasions.
As Colin D'Mello reports, the revelations come as the premier tries to contain a spending scandal involving some MPPs who charged hotel stays to taxpayers instead of driving home at the end of the day.
