I find the timing of all this quite 'interesting'. Mr Phillips left the country as soon as the legislature rose.

BUT, the legislature, rather suddenly, rose 2 or 3 days early. Was he planning to leave before it rose (thus missing the usual flurry of votes) or did he move his plans forward (or make plans)?
Did Ford and Phillips not chat in the last 2+ weeks and not discuss the weather, plans etc etc. In short, when did Doug find out his Minister of Finance was not in his office?

All rhetorical questions leading to one surmise - the answer is likely that Doug knew the day of his leaving, if not before. It took a long, long time for the American MSM press to call Trumps fibs lying. Any bets that the Ontario media will be so tardy ?

Phillips should be relieved of his position immediately. There's no excuse for this crap.

Exactly what I surmised earlier today. What a bunch of lying assholes. From cp24

Ford admits he knew of finance minister’s holiday vacation two weeks ago, regrets not asking him to return

Not asking him to return? What about telling him not to go in the first place.

Doug won't even demote him...

How could he? You just know Ford has been up at his cottage with his four daughters and their partners, breaking all the rules he told the rest of us to follow.

I'm sure the daughters weren't foolish enough to say so on their instas so we'll probably never know.

Do as I say ...

Philips even put on a sweater and used a fake background when he called in from the Caribbean. Pretty deliberate falsification.

Somebody whispered in Doug's ear that it plays better that he fess up right now. There's nothing like being caught in bald-face lying.

Quick, someone ask Phillips when he knew the Premier was at his cottage?

Just to see what happens.

LOL

Well of course people are upset, it is not so much that they have (again) broken the rules laid down by their own Con Party it's more about the elaborate ruse that was concocted to mislead us. As far as the temporary halt to the vaccination program claiming staffing problems is also a lie since they had never consulted those who were actually working in the vaccination clinics. But that's conservative logic for you. Having said that, didn't Ford say he didn't know Phillips was out of the country? Funny how he reversed his lie and now admits knowing and approved it since he didn't insist Phillips to return home asap.

 

[PinkLucy]

The last I heard, Doug claims to not have known until Philips had already left. Which I don’t buy, but whatever. It is indeed the ruse, that Philips and other people think the people of Ontario are easily hoodwinked and that he could do this because he is someone special.

I want to take this Tweet from the link supplied by @kaboi and put it out for all to see, lest some be unawares.
