'''Douglas Robert Ford, Jr.''' (born November 20, 1964), known as '''Doug Ford''', is the 26th and current Premier of [[Ontario]], [[Canada]] and the leader of the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario]]. He has been both praised and criticized for his policies, including his opposition towards a federal [[carbon tax]] and handling of the [[CCP pandemic]].
Despite running as a conservative in the 2018 Ontario election where his party ousted the corrupt Ontario Liberal regime of Kathleen Wynne, many have criticized his management of the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, as some people thought he has acted in a totalitarian manner with lockdown measures increasingly intended to cripple Ontario's economy and bring life in the province to a standstill since the onset of the pandemic, controversially using the Ontario Provincial Police as his lockdown enforcers.<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/tags/doug_ford Stories on Doug Ford].
