"The purchase price of the pre-owned private jet was $28.9 million. Doug Ford's office stated the jet was necessary for his extensive travel within the province and to the U.S. to advocate against tariffs."
"Surveys from Abacus Data and Liaison Strategies indicate that the Ontario Progressive Conservatives have dropped into a statistical tie for support with the Ontario Liberals for the first time in years."
"Polling analyst Eric Grenier noted that the public's reaction to the jet controversy has accelerated a decline in support for the Tories that has been ongoing for months."
"The Liaison survey suggests the Liberals have 38 percent support compared to the Tories' 36 percent, indicating a significant shift in public opinion."
Doug Ford's plan to purchase a private jet for $28.9 million has sparked public outrage and declining political support for his government. Polling data indicates that the Ontario Progressive Conservatives have fallen into a statistical tie with the Ontario Liberals for the first time in years. Support for the Tories has decreased from mid-40 percentage points in late 2025 to the high-30s, reflecting a sustained erosion of support over several months. Experts suggest this controversy may indicate deeper public unease with the government's agenda.
