It was so surprising and disappointing when Premier Doug Ford stated at his August 29, 2018 press conference that he intended to break his election promise, that for the first time our issue received coverage by Toronto and national media:

Until now, the PCs have been very proud to repeat “Promise made, promise kept” for each election promise on which they’re acting. The media realizes that reneging would be a big deal, as Doug Ford so clearly stated stated his promise. But the most remarkable and disappointing part of this is that Premier Ford is wrong about the reasons for believing he has to do this.
