Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre may have secured the overwhelming support of his party in a recent leadership vote, but cautioned that elections are not won on the convention room floor.
Poilievre secured 87 per cent of the delegates in Calgary last month at the party’s convention, pulling in more than what former prime minister Stephen Harper achieved at his own leadership review back in 2005.
“You don’t win elections at conventions. You win elections across the country, so let’s see what happens if the prime minister decides to call an election,” Ford said on Tuesday.
There’s really no point in the Ontario Liberal Party holding a leadership convention now.
