Ford's Jet Flip: No Loss, No Gain

0:00Ontario Premier Doug Ford made headlines by buying a used challenger 650 jet for $28.9 million than flipping it for the exact same price to bombardier. The province backed off the purchase just days after announcing it last week, originally pitched as a smart buy to help Ford zip around Ontario's huge, territory, up north across Canada and into the U.S. Opposition parties ripped into the move hard, calling it tone deaf during Ontario's affordability crunch, while Ford pushed back that northern. Charters are scarce, and trips like his recent Texas trade mission pay off big. Earlier this week from Ottawa, Ford doubled down on the travel needs before the quick sale, insisting the jet would have been worth it for getting. Around efficiently. Now with the plane off the books at no loss, the dust settles on what critics call straight up buyer's remorse from all that backlash. This has been Canada News Today, powered by AI.
