#whereisDougFord Trending on Twitter
Thunder Bay – COMMENTARY – Social media moves fast. In the political arena, social media can move faster than a slap-shot in hockey. It has the power to virtually hit and hurt equally at times to the impact of a slap-shot.
On Twitter today, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is trending. Not #fordnation but #whereisdougford.
The Premier was not in Question Period in the Ontario Legislature, and that has critics taking to social media questioning why.
