Ford made the comments Wednesday afternoon during a visit to Trillium Health where health officials are preparing to distribute the newly arrived Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to Peel Public Health.
“He never told anyone he was leaving. He never told me he was leaving. I did call him shortly after he arrived and I talked to him and asked where he was. He said he was away, said is this going to be an issue? My mistake, and I take full responsibility. At that time I should have said get your backside back into Ontario and I didn’t do that,” Ford said.
“I stand out here every single day and tell people to stay at home. People are losing their businesses, we’re locking things down and it’s unacceptable that anyone, any elected official, myself included or anyone, gets off and ignores the rules and goes down to an island,” Ford said., Phillips said he left on a trip to St. Barts on Dec. 13 after the end of the legislative session.
“I deeply regret travelling over the holidays. It was a mistake and I apologize,” Phillips said in a statement.
What have you been doing Premier Ford ?. You have been promoting HEALTH CARE FOR PROFIT. You have not helped Long Term Care or Health Care in general . You should be resigning also!!!!
Please “blasted” HE KNEW ALL ALONG just covering his own A$$!
Doug Ford isn’t completely innocent ford knew he was gone
Everybody makes mistakes Doug. Good for you for accepting his resignation, and not letting him weasel his way back in. Good leaders don’t do what he did.
Whatever Doug why don’t you go to another wedding
You have some nerve fordnation! You participated in and lied about this ruse!!!!
fordnation And now the taxpayers have to pay this guy to take a 14 day quarantine. Nice! As an essential worker I would have to go off on CERB which barely covers rent or a mortgage. Employer covers nothing. Maybe RodPhillips01 could try living on CERB for awhile
To little too late fordnation
Yeah, you should’ve Doug! And you also should’ve told everybody about it too! You can never go wrong with full disclosure. Then you’d be a hero of sorts, instead of an enabler. Why did you let him enjoy the rest of his holiday? That is BS!!
Mr Ford, can we now focus on how to obtain material volumes of vaccines and proper proactive testing. Yes that includes testing at our Canadian airports at the cost of travellers when they arrive. 14 day quarantine stands anyway.
But in private, Ford said to his finance minister: 'nice move dude, screw the law, take your holiday and bring back some cases of rum for the boys at the office!'
Quit wasting your time on these types of idiots and start spending much needed focus on the heroes working in long term care! You need to start focusing on your promises from nine months ago! NOTHING has changed! Wake up!
Rules for thee but not for me. This action proves that this is not about safety. Only about control. All small businesses and restaurants should open immediately
Let’s see now. We have a government minister in a high level position in the most populated province in the country with the most media and Phillips thought he could sneak out and back in the province without being caught? Maybe he’s just not that bright.
Why do I have a hard time believing it, CBC reported that Doug Ford knew about it.
Cut the BS.We are on to you.Your not foolin anybody.
Please don’t regret not firing him!
Why would there even be a hesitation by Ford to tell Phillips to get home.
If it's not posted on Instagram or Facebook or Twitter… Then it didn't happen; I'd like to see this happen live🙋🏽♂️
I don’t get it it’s a free country we can fly any were we want you didn’t close the airports so wHy pick on him
Captains go down with ships. Once again, sorry excuse for leadership. This government is a pathetic joke. All should resign.
You both just regret getting caught up in a lie , when you know full well there’s no pandemic
He needs to be fired the Ontario people need stronger leadership.
remove him from cabinet, do not allow him to resign
The Finance Minister takes a down south holiday while people are losing their jobs left right and centre. Flaunt your wealth and privilege much?
No excuse for Philips. This is no lapse in judgement when you plan misleading tweets to hide your vacation. This man doesn’t belong in cabinet. fordnation do the right thing and fire him. Otherwise you will lose the trust of the people of Ontario.
How about” you’re fired”. Accountability
End this lockdown now....it’s a farce. Just like our government. These people aren’t leaders...their liars.
He needs to be fired and held accountable, you can’t be charging your citizens and arresting people for playing pond hockey and other ridiculous restrictions and have an asshole directly spit in the faces of every citizen that he serves... Fired Fines are the only way out
Nice to see Ford take responsibility, unlike that asshole in Ottawa.
So the solution is to move him again? It's a lock down ppl. quit moving around.......🤦🏼♂️
I have news for all of you idiots. This is a free country we have the right to go where we want when we want how we want. All you judges are called communists. You can do the same thing you just choose not to. I went out to buy a camera off my freind today because fuck lockdown.
Give me a break. He did NOT blast him. He let him go—twice. He said we are above the rules. We are special. Ford is everyone’s best friend—whining “awww come on guys”. Im not his guys and I don’t need a new best friend. I didn’t choose him to lead but he got the job. Now do it!
Ford is all talk
Fire him
Hope that talk isn’t in person because Phillips needs to quarantine for 14 days...
I fear fordnation would not have been so frustrated if the Finance Minister didn’t get caught. Where is the Peremier’s accountability? It’s been a rough few weeks for fordnation
Why did he let him leave? Surely a senior minister can’t take any truly secret travel plans so far as the government is concerned...
Who's keeping track of regrets. We will need to know latter, I'm sure.
I salute Premier Ford. Fire this POS.
Geezus. THEY including fordnation have been blatantly violating their rules for us. Most of us have been angry since the start (and been called all kinds of things) Sorry it’s taken this long for y’all to realize. Good for the goose, good for the gander. OPEN IT UP!
He knew. Total BS!!!
Do something truly productive and order a monthly bolus of D for vulnerable elders.
😂😂😂
Do you people not see all the flights everyday People are flying everywhere.
Let’s discuss how I can’t visit my 17 month old grandson in your province since he has been born basically but he can go to St Barts? And I am from NL probably lowest transmission rate! Just sayin! Explain this please?
I wonder if this video was taped preemptively too. WhereIsDougFord FireRodPhillips
Throw him under the bus 🚌
fordnation if your minister doesn't resign you should fire him.
Ya whatever
Inexcusable fordnation. You may have to resign over this one. You should have immediately recalled him, anything less is a failure on your part. You expect us to follow your example? Well lead!!
Stop back tracking Ford, you knew and you lied!
Too late!
In other news Biff throws Roddy
What a great 'leader' :/
To think I almost fell for this man at his words early in the pandemic and just about trusted him. Thank god my spider sense buzzed
Fire him !
How could Ford let him leave in the middle of an out of control pandemic when a lockdown was imminent! Terrible judgement & Phillips tried to hide that he was away.
Why does my spider sense say, “This guy is lieing?” Dude just takes a vacation and “Apparently” doesn’t have to inform his boss? Sweet deal! Now an extra 2 week tax payer - paid vacation in quarantine. Fire them both
Apparently it’s his second trip. Lots of Canadian “celebrities “ going on vacay. Check out instragram, they are all over it on the beach partying!
WatchCTVNews Fire him. No room for entitlement.
Do you know how ridiculous you sound
This is the reason the lockdown isn't working. Most people think it's a joke
At very least fordnation for you took responsibility and spoke about it rather than the Finance Minister just saying 'it was a planned vacation'. All of us have had to give up on our plans this year ... even if they were as simple as giving a family member a Christmas hug!
fordnation has apparently told RodPhillips01 to return to Canada. He certainly should be here by now. wheresRod
All Phillips has to do is apologise like Justin did after the Aga Khan trip, WE, SNC Lavalin and his trip to the cottage while we all stayed home. I mean if it's good enough for a Liberal it must be good enough for a Conservative. Right?
Trudeau 100% supported Morneau when he violated ethics laws for the 3rd time and accepted a $41,000 trip from WE, who then received a $1B contact. Measure the media outrage 🙄
We aĺl make mistakes. This was the finance mnstr error
Doug spare all of us you phony chooch
Fire the elitist pig
Regrets getting caught folks 🤠
like the drunken sailor...regrets regrets and more regrets...that record is broken broken broken...just like this gov't! what's funnier is there is no other choice...green con gets ya ndp! CBCNS fordnation
Resign then Doug Ford after all you yourself were caught going to family gatherings and weddings all summer long defying your own guidelines So sick of lying Politicians Ford will go after the public with fines and abusive cops, but does nothing about his own Government Hypocrite
Liar Liar pants on fire, Difficult to believe incompetent Governments
Oh please they're sorry they got caught only. They never follow their own rules which is fine, neither should we
Oh wait a minute didn’t Ford say he didn’t even know his FM was vacationing out of country? Which was clearly a bunch of bull. Ford is inept, he should’ve never let him go given the conflict to government mandates to public, plus the lockdown and need for work to get done.
Please. Stop. Talking. You have no credibility.
I can’t see how this minister doesn’t lose his job with all the rage in ON. Some ppl can’t afford this type of vacay, and some people didn’t even know you could still go on vacay as long as you quarantine when you return. Some ppl didn’t even know that there were int’l flights.
It was unacceptable because he got caught, otherwise it would have been totally OK.
Sorry, not enough. He did the same thing in August.
You know, it’s just sick these adults can’t follow a simple set of rules for awhile for the greater good. My 11 year old has done better and not complained at all compared to all these fools out there. Do better people if the kids can do it you can too
Ford is not capable of telling the truth or leading the province
You should had told him before he left, standing in front of a camera and showing your regret does not do anything, the fact is he should be terminated immediately.
So in other words he was ok with until it became public knowledge
On a different note, where is Justin Trudeau haven’t seen or heard from him for a few days.
Basically fordnation trying to do damage control cause he’s upset Ontario found out he did nothing about this 2 weeks ago when he found out his cabinet minister RodPhillips01 has no integrity. Only one thing left to do and that’s fire him or accept RodPhillipsResign ontpoli
Boooo Ford booooo
It sucks when you get caught!
Will Doug have a special welcome back for Rod with cheesecake for everyone?! fordnation RodPhillips01
What is your opinion of Randy Hilliers 14 person thumbing-his-nose-at-rules Christmas gathering? Nothing yet? These people should be fined. Since when does that nutjob get a pass?! randyhillier RandyHillier ConsAboveTheLaw COVIDIOT onpoli ontpoli ontariolockdown
Fire the guy.
This is such BS as It was reported that Ford knew about this trip .... so try another day Doug
And the oscar goes to .....
Don’t bother “blasting” his vacation decision.....you might be more concerned with his bullshit tweets pretending he’s sitting at home. If you knew about this, that’s BAD for you. If you didn’t and he was trying to bullshit you as his boss, that’s BAD for him.
This is absolutely outrageous and disappointing. People dying, losing their livelihoods, in hospital for weeks, months, not to mention the slap in the face of the courageous front line workers. Show the public you mean business, either he resigns or he’s fired.
Mr. Ford, please tell to your ministry of finance to stay were he is presently, not useful for him to come back and give him his release. You could find another more responsable person.
Fire him. It’s the responsible thing to do.
Easier to beg for forgiveness than do the right thing when needed
If only regrets could save lives fordnation
Tyrant tried to cover his tracks
How about you lift the criminal restrictions for everyone instead? Let him stay.
I regret I woted for you... you lost all control!!! And not trustworthy at all!!!
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! - Proverbs 26:4
You fell for that charade? 🤦♀️ He's been in on it from the beginning. Just squirming bc he got caught.
Lol fake outrage!
Lmfao
Fords just hypocrite now
Even with his faults, Ford is still better than any Liberal or NDP Premier we have ever had.
Ford should fired their asses asap!
something about closing the gate after the animals have escaped springs to mind. Face the music like a true leader and stop the posturing and BS. This was wrong and there is no option but for a resignation or termination of FinMin and for you to accept and sincerely apologize.
Premier Doug Ford let his Finance Minister go on holiday in the first place.
He needs to resign. All animals are equal. But some are more equal than others.
Empty words, lies and excuses. So fordnation did you accept his resignation yet?
Hipocrits!!
fordnation is in heavy damage control mode on several fronts, all of his own doing. I can't tell if his buffoonery is due to blatant cronyism, gross incompetence, general apathy, or a combination of all three. onpoli
You knew Ford.
Should of called him out 2weeks ago then?. Your all in this together...
Take off that ridiculous mask and open everything up. Stop wasting everyones time.
fordnation ya sure whatever clown shoes, Here ya go hypochondriacs these are the public officials you’re blindly following.
If Rod Phillips is not fined $100,000 no other fine should be taken seriously. Just saying
Good then you both have tbe decency to resign and no fat severance cheques
Marie-Antoinette-of-the-Month. Ford created this incentive for his 'All-Star' Cabinet members. November : Sam Oosterhof (unmasked crowd) December: Rod Phillips (travel) January : Ford himself ( crisis management?)
Ford might actually be a worse premier than Kenney but not by much
Doug knew he was there. If he didn’t he should have. He was his manager for heavens sake. So which is this: poor judgement or bad management? Or both? An easy decision.
Why does he have a sunburn?
plenty of vacation spots in Ontario.
Don’t be to hard on him. Finance Ministers both present and former seem to think the rules don’t apply. Two weeks Quarrentine, with an ankle bracelet on and a seat change to a back corner row seems right. Set an example.
Remember when he got caught having a family gathering. They are all a bunch of liars.
This requires further action by the Ford government to ensure the public knows it was dealt with harshly...as it should be.
His words should have been If ya go your fired and may face jail time!
So ....you knew right after he left? That’s two weeks ago?
Boot🦶
Someone has been caught. He tried to BS us
Sick of Fords 'fatherly' schtick. Time to show leadership and demote those in your party who dont ow the rules... including Oosterhoff and Phillips
He knew he was there!!!! The faux outrage from Ford is just as disgusting as the trip. Their only regret is they all got caught LYING, while the people of Ontario are dying!
Damage control for Doug. He knew about it and now that it's out in the open he's blasting him. I do not respect that approach.
Homicidal pants on fire,
Yet fordnation is he losing pay? RodPhillips01 should lose 28 days of pay for his two 14 day quarantined periods as he choose to travel for non essential reasons.
But you knew before he left...
Political theater. Dougie is only sorry he got caught. He is a disgrace.
Regrets people found out
fordnation you knew he was going. What a bunch of bs
“Regrets” are too little too late. Get with it and follow the rules or get gone! UCPcorruption UCPfail
So..whats he going to do about it?
What a fraud Ford is, pretending he didn't give his okay ahead of time.
My ass he regrets it. He’s upset he got caught.
fordnation any and all elected officials who go against recommendations of health leaders and provincial leaders should be fired immediately
Doug Ford says a lot of things. Some of them true...
And PremierFord should stay home too, not go to his cottage!
No shit . He never should of gone . Pos
Kmt🙄🙄🙄
No , you need to fire his ass, obviously he is not part of the solution, he IS the problem!
Another fordnation gaffe says he is too susceptible to political suasion & friends to lead responsibly, despite the folksy, blustering PapaFord microphone persona. His job is to make the bureaucracy work better than it does. A disappointed Ford voter.
And they wonder why people think all this a big joke!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WhereIsDougFord
He signed off on it enough ... he admitted he lied ... CTV stop defending him ... they should both resign
And we are to believe Premier Ford had no idea his Finance Minister was leaving the country? Riiiiiiight.
Should have, could have, would have. It’s all 💩
fordnation JustinTrudeau randyhillier WOW!!! I ate Christmas dinner alone n forced my 15 yr old daughter to isolate at home too, even though my family is 5 min away and had the worst Christmas ever, with tears, beyond anguish!!! While your guy vacations?
Or, the more believable scenario....
Should of!! Would of!! Could of!!!! Now the Crime Minister will punish people who chose to have some sanity of going away w/ their family to escape the Plandemic & restore some hope of a normal life by FORCING mandatory testing to get back into the Country starting Jan 6 🖕U!
Looks like Dougie's fat face is squeezing in to that diaper. He's feasting too heavily on his largesse and abuse of power.
This entire pandemic is bull crap. There is not now nor ever has been a pandemic. How can people be this stupid? It is like watching people load themselves on the box car.
Another “do as I say, not as I do” example of corrupt, above reproach politicians. How and when do we, the Canadian Taxpayer, start making politicians accountable and punishable for their unethical actions
I have a better idea. Charge and arrest Mr. Phillips for frauds under Section 380(1) of the Criminal Code upon his return. If the Premier wishes to speak to his Minister of Finance, he can visit him at a holding cell. Ref:
Time for the fordnation spin. He knew the whole time. Only an issue now because they got caught.
Yep, another one. I knew that when I first saw him , that he was a crook. Always knew he was a lying pos like the rest of 'em. Time to boot him out and make sure he never gets elected again. Another scumbag politician. It's time for a change all over Canada.
He should have FirePhillips onpoli
How do you know a CONservative’s lying? Their lips are moving! FordFailedThePeople FireRodPhillips COVID19Ontario WearAMask
You think ?
He should have time for the 14 day quarantine as he shouldn’t have a job to go to.
Imagine, this guy is so irresponsible and you think we should still let him be responsible for taxpayers money....FIRED!
Everyone else knew the lockdown was coming so how could he not. Philips needs to be fired from cabinet. Belinda Karahalios was fired for less. Step up fordnation and do the right thing now.
Once again politicians flaunt the rules they put in place for the 'common people'. Not the entitled pompous windbags in government. 😝😝😝😝
We are telling fordnation to resign and to take RodPhillips01 with him DougFordResign RodPhillipsResign icing on the cake would be DrFullertonMPP FullertonRESIGN
This is disgraceful and totally unacceptable! Everyone in Ontario is expected to follow the guidelines. We cancelled our vacation months ago regardless of a lockdown so the minister’s excuse of not knowing a lockdown was coming is utter BS!!!!! FirePhillips
What's the point? He left on his personal vacation which he is entitled to do. His area wasn't under lock down at the time he left and unless we totally lock down flights no one can really fault him if he is following the right protocols?
More high melodrama about breaking quarantine when really all we want is for u to open up the businesses!
RESIGN!!! FUNNY HOW FORD GOVERNMENT CALLS FOR LIBERAL RESIGNATIONS EVERY TIME THEY FART, FFS!! SOUNDS FAMILIAR!
fordnation RodPhillips01 Your apologizes mean zip. Phillips, your punishment should be 1000 hours community service working in a COVID floor of a hospital and another 1000 hours apologizing to the families who have lost loved ones and you do this IN PERSON.
Doug, you need to fire the Finance Minister. This is ridiculous.
There not the ones spreading it, we the people are, we are not listening and we are at fault for the fake climbing covid numbers. 🤣🤣
Fire both of them!
FirePhillips
Will politicians ever tell the truth? Rules apply only to those too weak to stand up
Close the circus already. A respiratory virus at seasonal resurgence and we're running home? Indoors? Just so stupid, it's painful. 'Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle...' PovertyKills
Bad optics Ford! But where is our Little Potato vacationing with his 60 RCMP keepers$$$$. Caribbean? Russia? China?
This is such a lack of integrity and leadership. PC caucus should be so upset. For first time I may need to vote Liberal or NDP next time. We are all sacrificing.
So it turns out that fordnation is just like every other conservative out there.... remind me why Canadians should vote for you in the future? You should have said 'if you go, resign. I will make sure everyone knows you don't care about the rules to stay healthy in pandemic.'
Rules aren’t for politicians apparently, neither is telling the truth.
No, the finance minister is an adult & knew better but because he considers himself above the rest of us who are 'stuck' under lock downs he is exempt. Typical 'do as I say, not as I do' advocate. Self righteous terd
So if he does the proper 2 week quarantine when he comes back what's the big deal folks. Lots of snowbirds have gone to the south for the winter, shouldn't stop living life because you're afraid of living it with COVID19
I don't understand how a senior cabinet minister, integral to the execution of emergency orders, could leave country without letting his boss know.
Usually when I take vacation I need to tell my boss.... Guess that's not how fordnation 's team works 🤦🏽♀️
If fordnation doesn't fire him now, we'll do it for him at the next election.
Speaking to you as your hypnotist... 'An honourable man would resign.' RichardGmoney TheMacronical ezralevant
All politicians should be sent to the glue factory
Liar liar pants on fire fordnation . You knew exactly where he was, and your communications officer too. WhereIsDougFord ResignRodPhillips
What a surprise!
Let them eat cake
Just lift the lockdown and you guys can go wherever the fuck you want! No body really cares what any of you do!!
fordnation this is absolute BS. We have watched the numbers climb. We have a tried to stop the spread. We are all trying to reduce the demand on our health care system. We gave up holidays with family. My father passed in sept and his grandchildren couldn’t be there! Not fair
Too Little, Too Late My Friend. You and your so called experts have blown it again.
Well, well, well...I guess we are not shut down now are we? What a bunch of liars, carry on with your lives people, open your stores and do whatever you want because they are. The whole thing is pure fabrication, you do not have to do what they tell you and do not be afraid.
Is anyone actually going to take you and your peoples warnings seriously anymore? I thought the lockdowns/restricting travel were way overblown before but now it’s just one big joke
Ford’s been there every day front and centre. He didn’t hide at his cottage after telling Canadians to stay home. Our PM won’t screen again airports in case he offends someone.
Nah...Mr. Ford should have simply said, 'don't bother returning, you don't have a job anyway'
Rules for thee, not for me.
As you're clearly all over this can you tell us where Bill Morneau (Rod Phillips' old boss) is and the whereabouts of Trudeau & Co?
Shoulda coulda woulda but......
Just when you think politicians are trying to do good..NOPE..do as WE say NOT as WE do fuckers
fordnation fire him. The rest of us are staying in our homes.
fordnation KNEW RodPhillips01 WAS GOING ON VACATION! IT WAS ALL PLANNED! SCAMDEMIC HE WAS CAUGHT! NOW 14 DAYS TO AN INTERMENT COVID19 CAMP! BOTH NEED TO RESIGN INCOMPETENT
So will school’s open on January 4th in Ottawa as originally scheduled? I see no reason to hold back an extra week.
Why is everyone calling for a resignation instead of the ending of now obviously unnecessarily lockdown measures? Are people upset because he did this or because they gave up their freedoms so easily & have been cowering in their homes for no real reason. Open Ontario back up now
I'm guessing the finance minister advised his boss before leaving letting him know he will be out of the country? And Doug Ford said he didn't know?
Why are only 18,000 people vaccinated? He lies all the time, why is anyone surprised? Meanwhile he is privatizing healthcare in backroom deals.
Well that’s disappointing!!
He should have told the finance minister to stay there. There’s no point in coming home, you don’t have a job.
As they terrorize citizens & business
Lol fordnation taking the blame for everyone. What do they call it? Failing forward? What a scam.
fordnation how is anyone ever going to trust anything you say moving forward. Oh wait, we haven’t from the start but this, this is exactly who you are. Control freak
There is a deputy finance minister to kiss Fords b.t.
Not a good look on your administration Mr. Ford! Not a good look at all!! Oh ya, Phillips moves to the back of the vaccination line too!
Ya think BIG DOUGIE fordnation
Resign or be fired Fron a card carrying PC
He should have fired his finance minister
fire finance minister !
I voted for you last time Sir, and will again ,but your finance minister needs to be removed, not given the chance to resign, but removed!
Finance minister should be fired.
You knew and didn’t stop it I thought we were in lock down disgusting very disappointed in your actions
All he needs to do is apologise right? Just like Justin did after his Aga Khan trip, WE, SNC Lavalin, and his trip to the cottage while the rest of us were supposed to stay home. What is good for a Liberal is good for a Conservative. Right?
Really
No, he should have ensured that he didn’t go in the first place
Unbelievable! He should be fined and fired. Why is it that politicians believe that saying “I made a mistake, I’m sorry, I regret my action” is enough and excuses their actions? They are public officials, paid by taxpayers and have to do better. Disgusted by the sheer arrogance.
Are we not allowed to travel? I thought any of us can fly if we wanted to?
Oh Canadian politics ! Ya got to love it .Now thats not nice . Dont do that anymore ! We are such a patsy!
Bingo!! Again fordnation you have let your Ontario people down again. shame COVID19Ontario
And this thing goes on and on, as people lose jobs, and businesses. What about Ivana Yelich being in Saskatoon
Somehow, I get the feeling Ford is pleased how this is turning out. Now all the attention is refocused on something and someone other than how Ford has blundered through this Pandemic. Plays beautifully into his hands. Ford is just as complicit in this whole nefarious affair.
Of course he knew!! He is BSing to the public that he is upset and all that. He is very good at deflecting
RodPhillips01 shows he had no integrity and fordnation is a liar face. Philips needs to resign from his cabinet post and or Ford needs to fire him, plain and simple accountability ontariolockdown ontpoli RodPhillipsResign FordfailedOntario
Politicians mantra: It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. It's ridiculous and nothing will happen. He'll cop an attitude cuz most rich men in power do: entitled 👎🏽
Too late!
fordnation is Trudeaus newest bitch along with jkenney Pretty odd how all other provinces are fairly low on the count but the two main engines of Canada are high and both retracted on there no lockdowns after the premiers meetin.What JustinTrudeau bribe you pricks with
Shameful. How can we trust you when you have a double standard for your friends...as long as they don’t get caught...
back filling again...didn't know/ now he knows...finance dude covering up his trip using staffers to put out update....deception all around. U R now being called out! those bus tire marks hurt all of you....who is throwing who next fordnation when is the next vote? WE remember!
When leaders are arss what can thy do about country!
Um Ford is in HUNTSVILLE
Rules for thee but not for me!
How can they sit back and tell us we can’t see our own family for the holidays while their own people are boarding germs tubes (airplanes) to travel abroad and enjoy the beach. It’s just so wrong. And they wonder why there’s less lockdown compliance
See fordnation is NO better than JustinTrudeau They are all Hypocrites and believe they are above the law. Just proves that political members don’t believe in the lockdowns either. Stop destroying Families, businesses and Communities! fuckthemboth Hypocrites
fordnation he did this in August. RodPhillips01 should be fired RodPhillipsResign FireRodPhillips
Different rules for the rulers! Sounds like the same old....there’s nothing new under the sun. I had to wait in line, in the rain at Canadian tire, but down the street Walmart was open. Do these rulers make sense! Pathetic! There are no rules! No fake apologies needed! It’s old!
Ford is a goner. Nothing he says or does can be taken with any degree of credibility. Regret only occurs when these hypocrites are caught.
Oh Doug.....😒
Politicians are good at one thing and one thing only. Lying. They are lying about everything. There is no pandemic. No one needs to take Gates vaccine.
Doug Ford should take a flying leap.
Ford needs to go too. They’re all traitors to Ontario.
Now it sounds like Ford tried to cover for him.
Loser Government, politicians have no sole
'As long as no one got caught...what's the problem', Ford would say.
Soooo he knew? Is Rod a yahoo, Doug?🙄
there's a good chance fordnation delayed the lockdown so his finance minister could go on a trip
This is why NO ONE is taking this as serious as they should. Even the goverment telling us to stay home can not even follow the rules they are making. No wonder no one has any confidence in our elected officials anymore. They always say one thing and do another.
This Entire Ford and his Edsel,Corrupt Cabinet is Just DEPLORABLE & Phillips and Osterhoff should be removed from Caucus!!! CHEATERS Should not be Rewarded !!! But Ford’s SAGA will just Go ON & ON !!! Unfortunately CROOKS are CROOKS !!!
People didn’t see family this Christmas and there was even a rule squashing visiting Christmas lights but the finance minister gets to party in St Bart’s?
DeathFord Resign
The Premier needs to understand the real issue.
it was at that time something should have been done since you knew not 2 weeks later. I guess you approved the trip?
Anyone of you government workers who breaks the rules that you people are imposing should be fired and hit with a very heavy fine of at least $500.000
Yep for sure. Or don’t come back your fired.
You tell us to follow health guidelines which includes no unnecessary travel and your minister went abroad for a holiday. What hypocrites. If you want to lead, you lead from the front and by example. Absolutely shameful
Only regret it when it's made public
So, fordnation you LIED to Ontario yesterday onpoli - but we're all sure it was an 'honest' mistake..... just like all the rest? But you asked if it was going to be a problem.....that covers it. ColossalDickHead!
Show some Leadership Ford...resign yourself...!
No shit.
Swamp tells swamp media that swamp creatures shouldn’t do swamp things. As I lost 25 hrs a week from my income. Swamp Monsters are alive and well.
Time for Doug Ford to step down. Same with Trudeau and every other leader that had failed during this pandemic. There are separate rules for us and them.
Add to this that, Ontario’s advisors to celliottability and fordnation, not physicians, not epidemiologists and not very strong academically. In the middle, Aldasteinn Brown UofT_dlsph’s Dean, and on his right, Matt Anderson OntarioHealthOH ‘s CEO
This idiot if he was really interested in stopping the spread of this virus he would impose travel restrictions in and out of that Toronto and other infected areas to stop the spread of the virus
politicians think their above the law... total bs
A Canadian embarrassment that needs to be stripped of job and fined at the very least... Then again Ford told people one thing then gave everyone the finger and broke rules... Why are politicians such scum. Have we really become so stupid that we take this shit.
You sure you didn't know he was going out of the country for a holiday.
The fin minister should face fines for this behaviour. The rules must be for everyone. If 'regular' people face fines for disobeying the rules and having parties, then so should a gov official who ignored the rule that we have had since Mar that banned non essential travel
Thank you Ford. I want to go south soon. Guess we all can go. Right Ford?
Is Trudeau in his house? Not likely.
Ford sincerely regrets... that the minister was caught
🤥🤥😷
When our 'leaders' are in constant defiance of the rules that they expect us to follow, then it's no wonder that things are spiralling out of control. I truly hope Ontario wakes up to this malfeasance ahead of the next election. If we reward them for this, we deserve what we get.
Return home to be fired
The PC mantra; shoulda, woulda, coulda.
Does anyone believe anything coming out of a politicians mouth these days? Good thing they have the msm to support their lies.
To bad asshole, only reason you’re saying something is because you got caught. All politicians are disgusting
Turned a blind eye to deceptive social media posts. Ethics? Meh.
And you should be speaking to Hillier about his large xmas gathering too
Ford is a liar, plain and simple He knew

Gah! Trust and leadership have left the building... this is not going to end well. They had one chance and they blew it. Free-for-all ... sigh
So Ford is so out of touch with his Finance Minister that he didn't know? That is probably scarier than Ford admitting he knew and asked him to reconsider but he went anyway.
if the virus is so deadly, I think those living in fear need this and should suit up, everyone of them
Time for Doogie fraud and his finance minister to step down!!
Does one have to be a politician not to be called a ya-who Doug? fordnation
This is about privilege and misleading the public.
Well it's simple. He didn't think he'd get caught.
Yet again covering up for their political buddy Will politicians ever be honest and forthright?
At what point will people realize...Politicians do not care. There is an agenda...maybe Agenda 21?
Ahahahaha of course he knew. Qhat happened to not knowing. These politicians are all full of shit.
So he lied to us yesterday when he said he didn’t know Phillips had left the country?
Why the fuck are these stupid people considered 'leaders?'
