The “gravy plane” story refuses to go away — and this week on On the Ledge, the panel breaks down why the Ford government’s latest document dump may have created more questions than answers.
Host Dave Trafford is joined by former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, veteran political journalist Keith Leslie, and pollster John Wright for a wide-ranging discussion about accountability, affordability, and the political risks facing the Ford government heading into summer.

The panel examines the nearly $200,000 in added costs tied to Ontario’s controversial aircraft purchase and resale, why opposition parties continue to hammer the issue, and whether Doug Ford’s recent messaging reset is actually connecting with voters struggling with grocery prices, fuel costs, and economic anxiety.

Also in this episode:
  • The Auditor General’s troubling findings on trucking safety oversight
  • AI use in Ontario healthcare and the politics of “hallucinating” headlines
  • Ongoing failures at the Family Responsibility Office
  • Declining media scrutiny and the erosion of accountability mechanisms
  • Ontario Liberal Party infighting and the Nate Erskine-Smith nomination controversy

It’s another candid, fast-moving conversation about the stories shaping Ontario politics right now — and what they could mean for the months ahead.
