from Kvetch & Release · host Jon Liedtke

Jon Liedtke deconstructs Premier Doug Ford’s "Open for Business" branding, exposing a governance style rooted in central planning and interventionism. From "gravy plane" jet purchases to picking winners with corporate subsidies, Liedtke argues Ford’s pragmatic corporatism betrays true small-c conservative principles while shamelessly buying off an increasingly cynical electorate.
