Episode Description

Ontario’s government says it wants to modernize transparency laws.

Critics say it looks more like hiding the paperwork.

This week on Politics Is Broken, Brittlestar and Lisa break down the Ford government’s proposed changes to Freedom of Information rules — which could exempt the premier’s office and cabinet ministers from requests while extending response times.

The timing is raising eyebrows.

Because the same government is also proposing a series of massive ideas — from the Greenbelt reversal to a $2.2 billion spa at Ontario Place and even a 50 km tunnel under Highway 401.

So what’s going on?

Bold governing? Convenience politics? Or government by vibes?
