Ontario Premier Doug Ford says a provincial judge’s ruling barring the Region of Waterloo from clearing a homeless encampment on a future transit project site is the “most ridiculous” decision he has ever seen.

Ford was asked about the ruling by Justice Michael R. Gibson of Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice during an unrelated press conference in Sault Ste. Marie on May 22.
