Today on NOW and NEXT:Premier Doug Ford sort of resembles the Pig Pen character in the Peanuts cartoon. No matter how hard he tries to shake it, he's got this cloud hanging around him. In the premier's case, it's the political smog being spewed out by the Greenbelt scandal. That's not going away anytime soon.Word at Queen's Park is Ford's more than mad about the way this mess has splashed on his front bench. I heard one Tory suggest the firings and resignations were Ford's angry response to the way the Greenbelt land swap was handled. Seriously? There's more evidence to suggest the premier's P-O'd because he was forced to finally admit to a colossal screw up.We'll dive into this a more Friday morning when we convene the On The Ledge panel! John Wright, Sabrina Nanji and Keith Leslie are all frothing at the bit to engage on Your Ontario Politics Podcast!ALSO today:Meet Lisa Boivin, Dave Dale and Ben Sargent.
