He became a politician so he can make backroom deals that line his pockets. The beer stuff is to win votes from idiots.

During one of his official trade missions to the U.S., Premier Doug Ford met a top executive of 7-Eleven, a company that is now seeking permission to sell beer and wine in many of its Ontario locations.

CBC News learned of Ford's meeting at 7-Eleven's corporate headquarters in Irving, Tex. on Feb. 10, 2020 through a freedom of information request for the premier's appointment schedule.
