Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government bought a $28.9 million used Bombardier jet to support his travel across the province, Canada, and the US — specifically to lobby Trump on tariffs. Opposition leaders like Marit Stiles called it terrible timing and out of touch while Ontarians struggle with rent and groceries, and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation demanded he reverse the purchase. The article is well-sourced and confirmed by Ford's office and multiple major outlets, though it frames the purchase sympathetically by citing government efficiency arguments without deeply examining whether a private jet was necessary given Ford's existing charter practice.
