This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips says he and his wife travelled outside of the country in December, despite the federal government advising against all non-essential travel and as parts of the province continued to be locked down.
Emily Hogeveen, a spokesperson for Mr. Phillips, said Tuesday that the minister and his wife left the weekend after the legislature rose on Dec. 8, which would have been the weekend of Dec. 12. Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced last week a province-wide lockdown which began Dec. 26 at 12:01 a.m. and will last until Jan. 21 in Southern Ontario, but only 14 days in the north, the area north of the French River, which includes Sudbury.
Fire him , you have to to keep your credibility. All levels of government in Canada are a joke right now !
wow. Absolutely has to be fired. This is worthy of Trudeau. fordnation
Twice!! Went in August also
Amazing and his teams tried to pretend that he is still in Ontario
Shame. fordnation how can you expect the people of Ontario to abide by Public Health guidelines when the very people enforcing the rules are delinquent? hypocrite
Fire him so he can stay there!!
Is this the man who has been handing Fed's money over to his friends who own nursing homes while making huge profits at the expense of seniors that our dying in them? Going away may of helped us all! The flaws of supporting the rich over all others are showing in the Ford Gov.
Get rid f him!!!!!!!
Meanwhile I’ve cancelled two vacations already in 2020 and didn’t book a December one. Like virtually all people of Ontario, I’m locked down in the freezing cold. fordnation needs to fire him to regain credibility. But he won’t because he needs someone less popular than he is.
Not a good example but come on. They don’t give a F.
Fire him 😡
Resign.
Righteous a holes,horrible people
He did nothing wrong except hide it. He should be like our hero randyhillier fighting for our freedom. This virus has a 99.7% overall survival rate & 99.9% survival under 70. Not one RCT show mask work & only cloth mask RCT shows they increase infection!
Totaly expected when the management of this virus is not based on science. It's all a PR game and Phillips knew that. So why shouldn't he take a vacation? Yes it is hypocritical and reflects on the government so he should resign. But won't. Also remember he is different from us.
Fire his ass! Now!
The rest of us are in lock down and this guy takes a vacation out of country? Good job. Fire him. If he has no more respect then that for the rest of us, he doesn’t deserve his job.
You're all just catching on at the hypocrisy and farce this all is?
Resign . Rules dont apply to him. Privileged pompous person doesn't deserve to be our Finance Minister
Nothing new here. Nothing ever changes. Moving on.
If he hadn’t been caught, he would never even have admitted it. He deliberately planned for his office to tweet for him to make it seem as if he was in province. Yet again, fordnation government just thinks the rules don’t apply to them.
So what? Seems everyone that wants to travel is travelling. Borders are open for a reason.
RESIGN VoteFordOut2022
Who does this? Absolute Dbag! He knew people would be pissed, he doesn’t care...
Just another example of how hypocritical politicians are. I don’t care much what they did before office. But while in office they should and must be held to certain standards. Where is the accountability? This guy and randyhillier should be suspended for violations and fined.
What a hypocrite! ‘Previously planned?” SO WHAT? You think every single one of us didn’t have previously planned things? We cancelled vacations, WEDDINGS!, graduations, etc. You, and your party, have just lost the next election.
We now know he is typical politician - he can blow and suck at the same time.
We’re on lockdown and 1000s out of work and hundreds more sick and he takes a vacation shame on you
Will Doug be meeting them at the airport to make sure that they are quarantined
Hope they are in Two week quarantine
Total hypocrite! They are laughing at our faces!
fordnation unbelievable,and the response was totally pathetic, duh, the Feds have been saying don’t travel outside CA for months. I don’t think he should have been paid while in quarantine. DOUG FORD TIME TO REEL IN THESE IDIOTS WHO WORK FOR YOU!!!!! WHERE IS THE LEADERSHIP.
Yep RodPhillips01 I also had a 'previously planned personal trip” 🤮 FirePhillips
I'm angry! And then I think why waste energy on this liar who has his staff post photos indicating he is just down the road. Shame on you and the party you serve.
SHAMEFUL!!!
Anyone in politics can do, say whatever they want? Do as I say, not as I do . This kind of politics is getting old fast.
Fuckk PattyHajdu karinagould BardishKW Krisster81 MouseUlysses Victoria59L
BREAKING news 😷🥂
😷🤡😷🤡😷🤡
RESIGN
Total lack of empathy for his fellow human beings. Lump him in with Randy Hillier.😔
Fire him now thank you
Leadership. This what it is not. You can bet this guy and his wife believe they deserve their vacation. Hopefully Ford extends it by firing him.
What a cretin
globepolitics Just another fordnation screw-up. Ontarians have become accustomed to at least one of these a day from this incompetent government.
What’s wrong with that?
Last month, Sam Oosterhof was proclaimed Marie-Antoinette of the Cabinet. Now the Exalted Leader has launched an indelicate-naming contest for Phillips.
Fire Rod Phillips now. He is a coward. He does not represent the Canadian culture promoted by Prime Minister Trudeau that “we are all in this together”. My husband is a doctor in Ontario & has not stopped physically seeing patients since day 1 of this pandemic. No vacation.
My winter vacation was also previously planned. We cancelled our vacation. Why? Because our Prime Minister warned against travel. Our Premier warned against travel. Medical officials warned against travel. We all have to do our part to stop the spread of the virus. Shame!!
If he’s that stupid, it’s time for him to resign.
Previously planned? All of Ontario had previous plans -- and almost all of those got cancelled by Covid precautions. Nobody gives a rats ass about Rod Phillips 'previous plans' -- it's the complete failure of leadership integrity that most concerns us. He should resign.
Was the trip a vacation or just the Globe’s spin on it.
Unacceptable
Where is mr ford today hmmmmm hiding
What a jerk! The old do as I say not as I do Bull Shit!!!
Do as I say, not as I do
I know what I'm investing in... companies that manufacture guiotines.
We need to hear from brianlilley.
Throw him out of caucus
I heard he is stuck in the UK That, if true would be funny
I don’t really care one way or the other.
he should resign his seat as of Jan 1st 2021
He needs to resign. This is a disgusting expression of privilege that seems to be a consistent feature of fordnation and his government. Looking at you Sflecce RodPhillips01. StevenDelDuca your time is coming. Let us hear your platform, not just negativity.
This story came out on the 8th , his plane departed the 9th ,coincidence?
globepolitics It's okay, I'm sure that he and every other politician in this country has jumped the vaccine queue while the rest of us shelter in place. cdnpoli
So, stop following the rules if you have a working brain of your own. Maybe THEY know that our lives dont need to be destroyed because the pandemic isnt real?!?
Too irresponsible an act for any senior leader... I don’t want someone with such poor judgement controlling the provincial finances.
So what? Why the fuck are people and MSM still on about this? We can travel... COVID 19 is everywhere - what does it matter if we are in Ontario or Florida or Mexico ? Wtf does it matter? Really? Be safe is all
still cleaner then the last Federal Liberal Finance Minister.
Everything the Federal government has advised has been wrong. I wouldn’t listen to anything the Trudeau government says either.
So what? If he was a Liberal, this would never be reported.
fordnation two sets of rules. One for the PCs and one for the rest of us. Yet the people still get shamed by Ford for supposedly not following the rules. Ridiculous.
globepolitics
How exactly did we come to deserve such a shower of utter bastards as our overlords?
Far to typical for politicians these days - do what I say, not what I do.
What a hypocrite....
Lockdown for thee but not for me.
Last month, Sam Oosterhof was proclaimed Marie-Antoinette of the Cabinet. Now there is a naming contest for this Minister of Finance.
Rules for thee, not for me. Why would all these hypocrites “risk” their lives like this? Have you figured it out yet sheeple
Not illegal... that is what everybody tells me. Not suppose to get together over holidays.... so many people didn't listen. We the people are the problem. Spoiled, selfish, ignorant.
Classic!
Just wondering how his 14-day quarantine went upon his return to Canada.
Where is JT and his cabal?
And has his social media team make posts creating the illusion he is in the province. For that reason alone he should be gone.
RodPhillips01 should be made to resign. Doubtful fordnation has the courage or integrity though Self serving hypocrisy seems to be a trend with our provincial and federal governments
globepolitics Do as we say, not what we do. We are the privileged!
