TRILLIUM TALK: Why Doug Ford ‘felt sorry’ for Joe Biden

Welcome back to Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists from the Ontario Legislature.

Every Sunday, Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our staff at Trillium to talk about the week that was at Queen’s Park—and the week to come.

On today’s show is reporter Aidan Chamandy, who came across some very interesting internal government documents while surfing the web. (Spoiler alert: The Ford government is considering a new agency to speed up public infrastructure projects.)

Chamandy also takes us through an eventful press conference with the prime minister, who shared his thoughts on everything from the US presidential race to the now-ended LCBO strike. For the record, Ford thinks it’s “time” for Biden to “move on” — but he doesn’t “care” who wins the election, as long as the new president is willing to work with America’s neighbor to the north.
