Surprise, surprise! Another of Doug Ford’s plans for the province of Ontario is not going over well with constituents, this one, his push to renegotiate the gaming contracts for Niagara Falls to bring in more development, casinos and action.
In an unrelated press conference on Wednesday, Ford responded to questions about his renewed interest in the southern Ontario city, saying that he wants to “clean it up and make it more modern, give [it] more opportunities for economic development and increased tourism.”
Upper-level discussions about a new “Niagara Destination Strategy” have apparently been ongoing for months.
To many, this seems like yet another case of the premier repeatedly shifting focus away from the issues most crucial to the public — some of them literally life-and-death.
