Political Theatre: Ford and Kinew's Embarrassing Display
According to KLEIN, the recent actions of Doug Ford and Wab Kinew were not an example of leadership, but rather a form of political theatre.
This theatre came at a significant cost to Canadians, resulting in lost jobs, damaged credibility, and a lack of common sense.
The Controversial Commercial
The Ontario premier spent over $75 million of taxpayer money on a television commercial featuring a manipulated video of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
The goal was to take a stand against American tariffs and score political points with Canadian voters by pretending to channel Reagan's words.
However, the plan backfired when the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation publicly stated that the Ontario government had not asked permission to use or alter Reagan's 1987 speech.
Author's summary: Ford and Kinew's actions were an embarrassment.
