Doug Ford holds rally to mark first 100 days as Ontario premier
TORONTO — Doug Ford is marking his first 100 days as Ontario’s premier with a rally at the heart of the so-called Ford Nation, the west Toronto area where he and his family cut their political teeth.
Ford, who officially took the reins on June 30 after promising to reduce government waste without cutting jobs or services, hosted the Tuesday evening event at the Woodbine Banquet Hall in his riding of Etobicoke-North.
“Over a hundred days ago, we promised we would restore accountability and trust to government,” the premier told an enthusiastic crowd gathered for the event. “And I am proud to say we have delivered.”
Summarizing his government’s accomplishments, Ford touted the cancellation of the Drive Clean program and a number of solar and wind power projects, as well as the introduction of buck-a-beer.
