Ford worked at a slaughterhouse when he was a teenager. It was so distressing for him, I’ve heard he went vegan. But I suppose it’s no surprise that it didn’t stick. He still does not eat meat, but he has no problems with bbqing it for the camera and serving it to Ford Nation. What a truly grotesque form of hypocrisy.
Don’t forget he passed ag-gag bills as well and sold off parts of the greenbelt that threatened species use. I’m pretty sure cats and dogs will still be dissected and otherwise used in medical training, etc. This is Ford’s vapid populism - it’s just an issue he can use to lure some into supporting him, I suppose, and distract even more from realizing that his style of governance is simply that many parts of this province are available for purchase by corporate bidders. Outside of the great harm he does to this province and its inhabitants, I do pity him a little. To have seen what he saw in that slaughterhouse and to turn his back on those animals through ag-gag laws - he proverbially sold his soul to the devil in my books

The really damning part for me is, he still cannot bring himself to eat meat. Somewhere not so very deep inside, he’s conflicted. But he treats himself with the same contemptuous cynicism as he does everyone else. Ponder in horror what kind of mind he must have.
As well as this spring’s Bill 5: https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/ontario-species-at-risk-changes-1.7522227
