      The lesson Doug should be taking is that his government needs more transparency.

      If this was known before he started procuring the plane, it could have saved millions of dollars lost to flipping it.

      Likewise, his Greenbelt fiasco could have been nipped much earlier if he didn’t hide the mandate letters from public.

      It was always a loose and slippery grip.

      His man of the people persona is an act. There’s countless shady and corrupt dealings he does behind the scenes.

      He is constantly testing the boundaries of what he can get away with.

      Or maybe this was intentional as people have forgotten his pending Freedom of Information Act changes.

      Idk about this. I have seen posts on other social media platforms praising him for “listening to the people” despite his majority. Maybe his grip has slipped a bit, but I wouldn’t say he’s lost it yet.

      I feel like there’s a very easy way to get information on public opinion. Get someone to leak it and go from there.
