Remarks by Premier Doug Ford at his annual summer bash, Ford Fest, were drowned out Friday evening by an eruption of booing, whistling and chanting from protesters making plain their grievances over a host of issues.
People dressed in purple OPSEU shirts, bearing the slogan “Worth Fighting For,” were peppered among a sea of Ford Nation supporters in the half-hour leading up to the premier’s appearance that the master of ceremonies kept referring to as “the big event” throughout the evening at Thomson Memorial Park in Scarborough.
