#BREAKING: Ontario incurred more than $190,000 in extra fees (plus taxes) associated with its $28.9M private jet purchase, including costs for maintenance, storage and legal services, according to documents obtained by the Globe and Mail. #onpoli

It appears Premier Doug Ford's office didn't include the costs of HST into the initial public disclosure -- meaning the jet actually cost north of $30 million CAD. Ontario taxpayers were ultimately out nealy $200k in additional costs. #onpoli

The documents provide a timeline: Jan 16: Letter of intent sent to Bombardier (plane delivered to Montreal) Jan 19: LOI deposit $500,000 USD Mar 2: 2nd payment $1.195 M USD Mar 5: Final invoice for $22.035 M USD Apr 15: Government takes possession at 5:14 pm Apr 24: Bombardier purchase agreement $23.73 M USD

There’s an oft-repeated spending scandal in Canadian politics that always serves as a reminder that taxpayers care about the dollars and cents, no matter how small.

Bill 98 requires that the water companies be incorporated as for-profit corporations under the Ontario Business Corporations Act; according to Prof. Bakan, this change shifts the company's obligation to shareholder earnings and away from communities. Bill 98 doesn't avoid privatizing water services... ownership of the water companies could easily fall into private hands, he said. keepwaterpublic.ca
