He was barely sworn in and he started undoing legislation that was meant to   
   help average Ontarians:   
      
   -  The legislation that Kathleen Wynne's Liberals brought in to stop scalpers   
   from profiting from resale of concert tickets has been canceled by Doug Ford.     
      
   One of two reasons for this: he doesn't have a clue how to enforce the   
   legislation - or someone who contributed to his campaign is in the scalping   
   business and is now calling in the debt.

   New Ontario government puts brakes on anti-scalping law   
      
   No end in sight for sky-high markups, analysis of summer concerts shows   
      
   Ontario has quietly shelved a key part of a controversial anti-scalping law   
   that would have capped prices ticket scalpers can charge to fans of live music   
   and sports, a joint CBC News/Toronto Star investigation has learned.   
      
   Premier Doug Ford's office confirmed late Tuesday his government is suspending   
   a portion of the law, introduced by the Liberals, that would have outlawed   
   resale of tickets at markups of more than 50 per cent above face value, which   
   was set to take effect    
   July 1.

   And then there's this:   
      
   Doug Ford is officially ending Ontario's cap-and-trade plan, but what's next?   
      
   The PC Party won a majority government after campaigning on axing   
   cap-and-trade, which forced large companies to buy allowances for their carbon   
   emissions. Ford says in a new release that eliminating it will be the first   
   step in lowering gas prices by 10    
   cents a litre and curbing other household costs.   
      
   It remains unclear how much exiting the cap-and-trade program will cost   
   Ontario, which is part of a larger program with Quebec and California, and   
   what will happen with the nearly $3 billion in credits that companies have   
   already purchased.   
      
   Ford's statement says the government will decide on a case-by-case basis   
   whether some initiatives previously funded by the program will be paid for   
   using tax base revenue.        <<===  [that would be ONTARIANs' taxes]   
   _______________   
      
   OTTAWA — The federal government is interpreting Ontario's cancellation of   
   its cap-and-trade program as equivalent to withdrawing from Ottawa's national   
   climate change framework — and is reconsidering more than $400 million in   
   funding as a result.   
      
   A spokeswoman for Environment Minister Catherine McKenna says the $420 million   
   earmarked for Ontario under the Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund is under   
   review, since funding is contingent on agreeing to the framework, which   
   includes imposing a carbon    
   price.   
      
   Ottawa had already approved funding for seven Ontario programs under the fund,   
   but all of that money is now on hold. One particular program cancelled by   
   Ford, the Green Ontario Fund, means the province has, forfeited $100 million   
   in federal money.
