Doug Ford defends local PC candidates who were absent from debates and media requests throughout the campaign.

“I would rather have our candidates door-knocking,” Ford told reporters at a media event Wednesday held at the LiUNA training centre in Windsor .

Ford was flanked by PC candidates from three local ridings, including Andrew Dowie ( Windsor-Tecumseh ), Anthony Leardi (Essex), and Tony Francis , vying to unseat Ontario New Democrat Party incumbent Lisa Gretzky in Windsor West .

“It’s something we have to look at very closely, the impact of our energy grid,” she said at a campaign stop in Toronto on Tuesday . Crombie spent most of her news conference fielding questions about her endorsement of federal Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney , two days before the provincial election. She said the presumed front-runner is “the right person for this moment in time.” “He is a leader that can stand up to Donald Trump and speak with some authority and experience on tariffs,” she said..
