Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his province will sell the $29 million private jet it recently purchased for his use, just two days after announcing the purchase, following public backlash.
Ford’s comments come after his office confirmed on April 17 that it was purchasing a 2016 Bombardier Challenger 650 jet for $28.9 million. The move, which was first reported by the Toronto Star, received widespread backlash from critics who called the purchase a waste of money at a time when food and gas expenses are high.
