Ontario News Alert: Premier Ford’s Large-Scale Cabinet Shuffle – Renewal and Refocusing

Premier Ford has just announced a complete reorganization of his Cabinet and front benches. This Cabinet shuffle was long rumoured – in fact, it is hard to ignore the symbiotic relationship between Ontario beginning to emerge from the clutches of the pandemic and the timing and size of this particular shuffle.
