Low-scoring applicants averaged the highest payouts from Doug Ford’s Skills Development Fund
Until the Star obtained the database, scores were such a closely guarded secret the public didn't know the application scores of funding recipients.

Ontario taxpayers paid for a 401 tunnel study in 2021. Ford refuses to release it.

Now he’s handing a $9.1 million contract to a company that’s being sued by the City of Toronto.

Doug Ford: ”We are the only party that's fiscally responsible."

NEW: 4 years ago, the government studied whether or not a tunnel under Highway 401 was doable, finding a risk of collapse and eventually pausing the work.

Now, it is refusing to release the study - after paying a company $9.1M to do it again. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1151718...

Want millions in tax payer 💰 from the Skills Development Fund?

Hire a lobbyist.

$10 million of Skills Development Fund went to the owner of a strip club.

Women refused to work and walked out because they were expected to wear fishnets and g-strings.

This is where Ford is spending our tax dollars.

It increasingly feels like the Canadian electorate was tricked.

Health care is a consistently high voter priority. Kicking it down to the provinces after breaking the promises made in a federal election is shady af behaviour.

Latest on Doug Ford’s Skills Development Slush Fund

FGF Brands and Ontario Shipyards both got millions in “training” grants—then executives sent a surge of donations to Ford’s PCs.

That’s not job creation. That’s a circular economy of corruption.

That $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for Labour Minister Piccini? Suddenly “cancelled.”

Apparently due to a personal commitment—which sounds a lot like realizing Ontarians are done watching PC donors cash in on public funds.

If there’s nothing wrong, why pull the plug?
