Ford's Texas trip to talk trade, tariffs cost taxpayers over $93K, internal document reveals

Ontario Premier Doug Ford's recent trip to Texas to discuss trade and tariffs reportedly cost taxpayers over $93,000, according to an internal document obtained via a freedom of information request. While Ford's office claims the visit set the stage for potential billions in new investments and job creation, the financial outlay raises questions about the balance between economic benefits and public spending. This expenditure underscores the importance of scrutinizing government expenditures, especially when tied to significant economic negotiations.
