Ontario Premier Doug Ford is defending his decision to name his nephew minister of citizenship and multiculturalism.
The premier says his nephew Michael Ford has “extensive experience,” having previously served on Toronto city council and as a school trustee. Among the changes was the appointment of former solicitor general Sylvia Jones as deputy premier and health minister.

Too public to hire family.
But of course this trashy rag won't print out the names of all the relatives of Trudeaus family and friends with all the handouts of Canadians hard earned money. FakeNews MoreConservativeMediaBashing.
So here’s the formerly impartial and even handed Globe defending an act of obvious and arrogant nepotism. Am I remembering that Caligula appointed a horse as senator? At least it was an entire Roman horse.
Yikes 😬 😬
Like a true communist should!
🤮
You would think with this picture and past history, you would think the Ford family would understand the importance of a functioning and quick to react health care system.
Nepotism period !!
It's a good thing he did not put him in charge of our Agriculture, we would have none left!
I guess there is one culture not included in multicutural
What’s sad (beyond the nepotism ) is that he was our in charge of Multiculturalism. onpoli
Michael Ford was fairly elected. However he should not have been promoted to a cabinet position….it’s indefensible. Does this open the floodgates? Can a Principle or Police Chief start hiring their family members as well? onpoli nepotism
What does the nephew have on Doug Ford?
Ford and his family really shouldn't be running anything as my cat could run ontario better.
Joke
LOL omg LOOK at them! It's like a charicature of nepotism!
NEPOTISM?
He should have been named the Ambassador to Hostess.
Meh,still an improvement on Kathleen Wynne😂 Come on Canada,don’t pretend to have standards now! We voted in an unqualified & inept PM largely due to his father's reputation! Plus,that same guy later appointed his entire cabinet based solely on gender & racial identity🙄
Worry not, dear Ontario people. He'll have a heart attack within the first year.
minstry of red tape anyone
MINISTRY OF RED TAPE ....ROFL ROFL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Good
You elected the politicians you deserve. Especially if you didn't vote.
fordnation family gravy train
Why does Ontario have a citizenship minister anyway… serious question
Sorry, just because fordnation says it was not nepotism does not mean that it was not nepotism. Ford is my Premier but I am under no illusion he is looking out for my best interests, or the best interests of the province. cdnpoli cdnmedia
Please have somebody track fordnation 's lunch budget impact on the provincal debt!!! With both of them filling their pie holes on the taxpayers dime, 100s will go without something they need.
Even if he is qualified this is pure nepotism. One would think that the Premier would have the sense to refrain from appointing his family. They just don’t learn do they!
Holy nepotism Batman!
No mystery who Minister of the Pork Barrel will be.
I’m trying really hard to find the “extensive”-ness fordnation MichaelFordTO
‘I gotta tell you folks - Mikey here listened to everything the premier (me) said about Doritos and Timmies - just look at that Muskoka beach body!’
The Thomson paper trumpeted the 'Ford Nation' win by underdog Mike Ford way back in 2014. With typical lack of self-awareness, 'media attention' is noted as an influence in the community college non-graduate winning election to a post overseeing the education of 11,000 students.
Lmaooooo who is surprised
Nepotism.
Just because he eats all ethic food groups on one sitting/meal doesn’t mean he’s right for the job
Corrupt!! Nepotism! 🤮🤮🤮fordnation
Minister of culture appropriation and white supremacy.
No explanation needed. If he thinks his nephew will do a good job then so be it. His nephew obviously got elected in his riding which should say something or speak for itself. All this crap is coming from the far left wing liberals. I say who cares? fordnation
If I worked for the Government of Ontario, it would be against my employee code of conduct to hire a family member or friend. I would be disciplined or even terminated for this. But not if were the Premier of Ontario? Make it make sense.
Nepotism 101. In Ukraine, we call this 'kumivstvo' (promoting godfathers of your children or parents of the children you are godparent of).
If you don't know what the word nepotism means ?
Of course he would. Will he say “sorry i am wrong” 😂
He feels sorry for him because he can afford to eat
Got a query from a fellow tweeter - does multiculturalism mean “non white”? It is a valid and legitimate question. I guess my response would be - Absolutely not. But it would include anyone who’s not my nephew.
When a title in a national newspaper reads like the Beaverton. I do not know if I want to cry or laugh but the reality we all be crying at the end.
FordNation still thinks they are the Kennedys of the north. They are horrible opportunists, who don't give a shit about people. It's a sham some have bought into and that our poorly weighted political system enables even with a minority of the popular vote. ONpoli
Michael Stirpe-Ford's multiculturalism qualifications: Gravy has various shades of brown.
Nepotism at its 'finest' Way to go Doug....looks like you learnt shit all from getting roasted over trying to promote your under qualified BFF to the position of OPP Commissioner. This Conservative will not be voting for you in 4 years, you're not worth it.
Why is the Queen on the photo?
nepotism much dougford? nothing like DontheCon AKA donaldjtrump.
Couple guys who love timbits and it shows
Wow, he is slimmer
jeffreybgray Vancouver's D.O.A. said it best: 'Triumph of the Ignoroids'
The world is spinning into an extinction event
It’s indefensible. He’s making a mockery of govt by even trying. Never mind the nepotism, Ford picked the whitest guy to be minister of multiculturalism. It’s a f*cking insult.
Has Trudeau been questioned about his wedding party?
So that's just straight up nepotism.
LOL. This is on the Ontario electorate. They knew what they were choosing.
This is nepotism and nothing more. I hope the Globe and Mail will keep a watchful eye on both of the Fords and keep the public informed of any shady deals or wrong doings.
ah yes, the corruption continues in ontario well done Ontario.
What do you guys care? You helped get him re-elected.
'Don't call out my nepotism for what it is you guyyyys'
Ontario deserves this. Eat shxt until you learn to vote.
Yes…very multicultural guy, his nephew …good choice Douggy. While he’s at it, maybe he could start a new ministry of natural bio-gas capture and reuse? His nephew could easily head that too!
What is the process for picking people to work in Government? Is Government funded by tax payers? Do they approve? If so then there is no issue. Canada was built as a multicultural country. Not changed to multicultural country.
Hang on Ontario. DougFord will say and do anything he wants to do. He does not care in the least what anyone else thinks or cares. As TO_Resident points out here - there is almost ZERO defense and opposition!
Keep hitting him with this. Don't let him off the hook. You surely don't let other very insignificant things off.
Shameful
Wow that is quite the piece of reporting. One dramatic sentence about one kissed off question at a news conference. Are you people fucking serious?
Lol wtf... I don’t care if you’re a liberal or conservative, the Canadian government along with governments all around the world are increasingly becoming visibly unfit to hold office. Stay tuned.
Congratulations Ontario. Got exactly what the lowest voter turnout in Ontario history asked for!!!
Minister of Buffett Dining
Good. No different than trudope being prime minister. If it weren’t for his father he’d be a drama teacher still.
There is no defense. It's unmitigated nepotism and fordnation clearly doesn't give a damn about the optics of an unethical appointment. It's not like we didn't know he lacks a moral compass. onpoli
Lol
