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.[1]
