The OTL gang is assembled! Keith Leslie at CHCH-TV, John Wright SVP Maru Public Opinion, Sabrina Nanji, Publisher and Editor of the Queen’s Park Observer and SSN Chief Executive Producer Dave Trafford are around the table.
In this episode:

Premier Doug Ford tells Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie to stop whining and be a good partner! (At least he didn’t tell her to stick to her knitting).

Ford goes off on a rant over Crombie’s opposition to Queen’s Park’s plan to eliminate Developer Charges as a means of incentivizing developers to build more housing.

Crombie wants to know how municipalities are going to cover the added costs of new infrastructure if the DCs disappear.

Ford doesn’t have an answer.

John Wright says the Ford government has taken a turn towards autocracy and that’s good news for the Liberals.

OTL will be taking a break over the Christmas recess. We’ll be back around the table in the New Year!
