If you’re brave enough to venture out into the chaos of Toronto’s snow storm today, you may spot a familiar face giving residents a helping hand. Looks like Doug Ford has taken to the streets to help folks stuck in the snow, which could amount to nearly 50 cm in Toronto and up to 60 cm in parts of the GTA by the end of today.
“I’m just picking people up, checking on people […] just making sure people are safe in their cars and anything I can do to help them,” Ford said in a FaceTime interview with CP24.
