Over the weekend, Canadians in general—and Ontarians in particular—may have felt a sense of deja vu, as a
Washington Post piece calling for Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s resignation became the
most-read story on the U.S. newspaper’s website. It’s been almost a decade since another Ford, Doug’s younger brother Rob, made headlines south of the border (and everywhere), and then, as now, those headlines were not exactly friendly. But where Rob was routinely covered for his off-colour commentary and substance abuse, Doug was slammed by WaPo columnist David Moscrop for his actual governing, specifically his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, which somehow, is worse than ever in the province, and is threatening to overwhelm the health care system.
The editorial came just two days after Ford, in a bizarre, rambling press conference, implemented a raft of new restrictions, including outdoor playground closures and significantly increased police powers (both of which have been walked back following swift public backlash). The moves were just the latest in a series of policy decisions made by the Ontario government that seem to ignore science altogether, plummeting the province into a third wave that is exponentially worse than its first or second.
For many, however, the WaPo editorial may have been their first exposure to Doug Ford. So while Ontarians have long known the senior Ford brother for his series of political blunders, the rest of the world may be wondering who, exactly, the Etobicoke native is. So here, we present a brief history of Doug Ford, told mostly through his checkered political past.
