Canadian Premier Doug Ford has agreed to sell a C$28.9 million (approximately US$21 million) Bombardier Challenger 650 executive jet purchased for his official use, after facing sharp criticism from opposition politicians and taxpayer groups. Ford had initially defended the purchase as necessary for travel to the United States to lobby against Trump administration tariffs, but reversed course on Sunday, stating that "now is not the right time for the expense of a government plane." The reversal comes as Ford's approval ratings sit around 31%, among the lowest of any Canadian premier, with critics accusing him of being out of touch with families facing economic pressures.
