A defensive Doug Ford insists it was not reckless to call a provincial election against the backdrop of a trade war that could devastate Ontario’s economy.
The Progressive Conservative leader, who last week triggered the Feb. 27 vote 15 months early, maintained his hands are not tied during the campaign and he can still govern while electioneering.
“I totally disagree,” Ford said Monday as he accepted the endorsement of the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association in Etobicoke.
