The Ontario Greens leader, Mike Schreiner, has criticized the Ford government’s decision to utilize taxpayer funds for retrofitting Staples and Walmart locations for ServiceOntario services. He questioned the transparency of the deal, suggesting it’s more beneficial to corporate giants rather than everyday Ontarians. Schreiner highlighted concerns over why public funds are directed to US-owned chains instead of supporting local businesses, emphasizing a growing frustration with the government’s priorities amid ongoing housing and affordability issues.
