Depends, I think, on whether it's a case of something being truly contentious, or 'ought reasonably have known' better.This bit is exactly why I find it funny that political pundits and general Doug Ford detractors use his "flip flopping" on issues as an attack.
His government makes a decision, people get upset about it, he changes course. Sure, it would be nice if his people made a few less bad decisions, but they at least back down when the public backlash gets bad. They don't just bull ahead with bad decisions because that's what their ideology demands.
