Doug Ford Rams Through His Attack On Our Democracy

Ford Conservatives Make Unprecedented Use of Constitutional Over-Ride Clause to Muzzle Critics in Year Leading Up to Next Provincial Election

A News Release from Ontario’s Liberal Party

Posted June 14^th, 2021 on Niagara At Large

TORONTO – Steven Del Duca, Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, issued the following statement:

“Today is a sad day for our democracy. In the cover of darkness, Doug Ford has rammed through legislation that will undermine our right to free speech by silencing his critics.

Doug Ford’s power grab is nothing more than an attempt to save his own political skin while changing the rules of an election he’s already running in.

Make no mistake, Doug Ford is silencing the frontline heroes — the nurses, doctors, teachers, essential workers, and personal support workers who are speaking out against his government.

This didn’t have to be today’s reality. In 2018, Ontario Liberals fought to prevent the routine use of the Notwithstanding Clause in Ontario’s governance, but with the help of Andrea Horwath and the NDP, Doug Ford’s majority shut down our motion.”

A Note from Niagara At Large publisher Doug Draper –

Niagara At Large will have more to say in the days ahead about this dangerous assault on Ontario’s democracy and why it should spell an end to the Ford Government.
