Many people are asking me if I have joined ICE and I would like to remind you all that I am Canadian and not a monster.

The best part is how the admonishment came almost as an afterthought, as he was about to end the call:
A public servant texted Doug Ford's number to express concern with his government's return-to-office mandate.
They received a voicemail suggesting they "go get another job."

Listen to the voicemail that Doug Ford left for an Ontario public servant after they texted the premier with concerns about the return to office mandate.
Ford relays some advice from his mother: "you don't like it, go get another job."
