Ontario Premier Doug Ford has appointed Sean Webster, a former Progressive Conservative candidate, to lead a new regional office in Ottawa. However, the financial details of Webster’s compensation package remain undisclosed, prompting questions and dissent within Ford’s caucus. Some MPPs, including Lisa MacLeod, have expressed opposition to the office’s creation, while others have raised concerns about the potential for patronage appointments. The appointment of Webster, who has ties to lobbying and corporate interests, has further fueled accusations of Ford running a “gravy train” with wasteful spending.
