Records show Ford's penchant for private travel took off immediately after winning the 2025 provincial election campaign, during which his party chartered planes to Washington D.C.
Okay, found a source here. Chartering a medium sized private jet to go one way from Toronto to Van Couver could cost about $50k. So if Douggie and his entourage of advisors, assistants, security, etc all want to go round trip from A to B on a tight schedule, then it is pretty easy to hit their private jet budget with a single trip.
Maybe this is unreasonable for a politician at his level, but I’m not aware of these norms
