It’s always a “narrative” with this government.
You develop a narrative when you’re trying to pull one over on your audience rather than govern responsibly.
John Bowker@bowker_john
FOI records show Ford govt officials were crafting a narrative to justify the immediate closure of the Ontario Science Centre long before releasing an engineering report on the building’s condition. (That report didn’t call for immediate closure) globalnews.ca/news/10878274/… #onpoli
