Premier Doug Ford faced criticism during the spring election campaign for limiting questions from journalists, while his campaign produced slick TV-style “news” videos. ( Facebook )“We all complained about the previous Liberal government using taxpayer dollars to do essentially partisan advertising,” Green party Leader Mike Schreiner, the MPP for Guelph, said Tuesday. The videos that are produced and paid for exclusively by the PCCS (PC Caucus Services) are not part of government social media. “Videos produced by government, such as the premier’s visit to the Britt (forest fire) Command Centre, are shared on government websites. After they are posted on government social media channels, anyone is able to share the content on other platforms,” said Silverstein.
