Doug Ford gives us a master class in populist politics

In this week's edition of On the Ledge - your Ontario politics podcast:

• Happy 3rd birthday to Story Studio Network!
• Doug Ford goes on an operatic RANT about gas price hikes and manages to lay it all at the feet of Justin Trudeau and Bonnie Crombie!
• All four provincial party leaders want the Speaker to reverse his refusal to allow the keffiyeh to be worn in the legislature. 
• The housing file keeps getting more and more complicated and that's driving up the cost of home building.
• Vic Fideli doubles down on government insistence that the addition of Long Term Care beds qualify as "new home" builds.
• The Transportation Minister may need whiplash therapy. He was forced to make a fast and strenuous about face mere hours after announcing service reductions on the Metrolinx UP Express!
• It's hard to imagine we don't have a gambling problem in Ontario when we learn 1.3 million Ontarians bet $63 billion online in fiscal 2023-24.
