Ontario's Doug Ford on 'attainable' housing, crime, the media and politics | FULL
Ontario Premier Doug Ford joined Toronto 640 host John Oakley for an exclusive sit-down interview on Thursday, where he was asked about housing affordability, crime and auto thefts, budget concerns, the media and more.
Ford lashed out over Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault's controversial remarks on federal road funding, saying he was "out to lunch."
"What are we doing? Are we going to be riding on horseback or bicycles or whatever?" He said.
He also spoke about crime and auto thefts across the GTA, delivering a call to action over the airwaves. "All the criminals over there listening, driving around in a stolen car. We're coming to get you. We're going to catch you and we're going to throw you in jail for a long time," he said.
When asked if he thought the media was fair to him, Ford said "not at all," but that "it's alright."
He called it "very political," to which Oakley pointed out: "You're in politics, though."
And, Ford attempted to clarify the difference between 'attainable' housing and affordable housing.
The radio booking represents a rare long-form interview with the premier, who has not taken part in similar year-end interviews for several years.

I am sorry that Doug Ford did not have the insight or foresight to head off some of Ontario’s housing problems. No leadership here. I am sorry that Doug Ford ignores the role of addiction in his own family.
What does Ford do? Sit with other countries in "meetings" about Ontario? Does Ford forget he is Canadian?
Doug Trump. Privatize everything. Get voted out, join the board of a developer you accepted donations from. Politics in Ontario.

“Grilled”
We had the most restrictive rules dealing COVID in Ontario than any other country in the world except China ...
And to think.. I voted for this man, who promised to raise ODSP, and hasn't yet
Well I would rather have someone I can help show up. Back of the line O'Leary
Keep taxes low and interest rates rest is a win
Spick n span when I get there!!!
Most land in Ontario is Crown land, which is public land owned by the provincial government. Nearly all of northern Ontario is Crown land, while southern Ontario is mainly privately-owned land. Buying crown land has restrictions and conditions on the use of the land.The Ontario Government owns very little land in southern Ontario, except places like the "green belt"...
You got ritue hall to build
I would love to know which area and demographics were most likely to have the benefit of participating in the pubic consultation done. Seems like the first thing to ask is how was this province ensuring proper and equatable notification was given. Stop with the “we” nonsense and attitude..because there is more of the “US” that are notified after the decision was made…How about finishing the monster projects your government started..instead of touching everything and fixing or finishing absolutely nothing!
jail ford and poilievre FOREVER

Jail Trudeau/Fancy Socks first for his ethics violations. He's done in the next election
Doug Ford a complete failure
Nicely thoughtful Ford
I prefer dougie over bonnie clyde crombie, but really I'd much rather prefer the All the World Republics governed by the PEOPLE.
Doug Ford is a humble man and good manager. Ontarians are just blessed with the premier Ford team working for them!
