Ontario has purchased a $28.9-million private jet for Premier Doug Ford, which the government says is needed for more flexible and secure travel.
Mr. Ford’s office confirmed Friday the province bought the pre-owned 2016 Challenger 650, made by Quebec company Bombardier. The purchase was first reported by the Toronto Star.

The government defended the decision to buy the jet, saying Mr. Ford travels frequently across the country for meetings with fellow premiers and the Prime Minister. He was also recently in Texas, a trip he said was intended to shore up support for Ontario businesses and argue against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Commercials seats are not very comfortable for a man of Ford’s stature.

I don't begrudge him a private jet if it means I never have to worry about the sheer mass of the man jeopardizing any commercial flight I happen to be on.

 

[ovarieasy]

Makes sense. I'm sure he got tired of being hung up on during video calls.

Now fly, fly far far away and never return. Go join the Skyking.

I guess he needs to fly down to the country he hates for cheesecake since he ran out up here.

What a tool.

It better be one fucking powerful aircraft to have sufficient lift to get that fat cocksucker in the air.

Engine inside the plane Ford runs himself.

Eat shit haters. Ford is a blessing after decades of mismanagement and abuse.

You know what Doug, you really shouldn't post here while high on Velveeta

 

[WavyGravy]

So we have to all stop driving gas cars for legitimate reasons like going to work but these assholes get a tax payer funded jet that runs on leaded fuel to fly all over the world for things that could be accomplished with an email or zoom meeting?

Make it make sense.

 

[TOPDAWG]

Maybe it's so he can fly around with his boyfriend Carney.

 

[Hirudinea]

Maybe he's got plane envy of Carney?

 

[iLLNESS]

Any bets on whether this plane got its 10 year overhaul or if it's just about due for it? I bet it's due and tax payers are on the hook for another few million in repairs.

You know what you're in for when you buy a used car.
