Ford Government Staging Official Announcements without Inviting Reporters

A review by The Trillium found at least five government events since mid-May where reporters were not invited or given media advisories.

  • Premier Doug Ford has increasingly attended government events without notifying reporters, with The Trillium identifying at least five such announcements since mid-May.
  • Ford appeared at these events standing at government-branded Protect Ontario podiums, though no media advisories were issued to allow journalists to attend or observe.
  • While the government still issues advisories for some appearances, such as a July 16 Windsor press conference, these five events occurred without any notice to journalists.
  • Opposition NDP Leader Marit Stiles criticized the premier, stating Ford is "running scared" and refuses to face difficult questions from the media or opposition.
  • This scrutiny follows backlash over the $28.9 million jet purchase and 20 Toronto-area Progressive Conservative MPPs billing taxpayers more than $120,000 for local hotel stays.
