Ontario Premier Doug Ford joined Toronto 640 host John Oakley for an exclusive sit-down interview on Thursday, where he was asked about housing affordability, crime and auto thefts, budget concerns, the media and more.
Ford lashed out over Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault's controversial remarks on federal road funding, saying he was "out to lunch."
"What are we doing? Are we going to be riding on horseback or bicycles or whatever?" He said.
He also spoke about crime and auto thefts across the GTA, delivering a call to action over the airwaves. "All the criminals over there listening, driving around in a stolen car. We're coming to get you. We're going to catch you and we're going to throw you in jail for a long time," he said.
When asked if he thought the media was fair to him, Ford said "not at all," but that "it's alright."
He called it "very political," to which Oakley pointed out: "You're in politics, though."
And, Ford attempted to clarify the difference between 'attainable' housing and affordable housing.
The radio booking represents a rare long-form interview with the premier, who has not taken part in similar year-end interviews for several years.
AM640 is owned by Global News’ parent company, Corus Entertainment.
