ONTARIO 2018

Kathleen Wynne flew in and out of Ottawa late Wednesday with a campaign slogan designed to contrast her vision for Ontario with that of Doug Ford, and a guarantee to supporters that she'll be back in Queen's Park.

In Ontario’s first televised debate of the 2018 election season, Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford leaned on platitudes about standing up for the little guy when not railing against what he considers Premier Kathleen Wynne’s profligate spending. New Democratic Party’s Andrea Horwath presented herself as the grown-up voice for change.

Mike Schreiner said he was proud of federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May for standing up for what she believes in, even if she was arrested over it, and would “absolutely” do the same.

Former Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Christine Elliott says she will be seeking the nomination to run as the Tory candidate in the provincial riding of Newmarket-Aurora.
