Ford continues to choose political revenge over Ontario families

QUEEN’S PARK — Ontario NDP Deputy Leader John Vanthof says paying as much as $500,000 for another one of Doug Ford's revenge plots is not acceptable, and Ontarians deserve answers about what Ford and his office did.

Doug Ford's office allegedly directed OPG — a Crown corporation — to fire new OPG vice-president and former chief of staff to Patrick Brown, Alykhan Velshi, just as Velshi started the job.

“Despite media reports confirming that the premier’s office interfered to have Velshi fired, Doug Ford repeatedly dodged questions on Tuesday, refusing to come clean,” said Vanthof. “The premier has no business meddling in the staffing at a Crown corporation. The political infighting in the Conservative party is rearing its head again, and people deserve to know how much Doug Ford’s latest grudge match will cost them.

No one in Ontario voted to finance Doug Ford’s personal revenge plots and vendettas."
