Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he doesn’t believe in attacking other cities’ bids to host a multinational defence bank as he makes his own pitch for Toronto as the best choice for the project.

Ford made the comments in a news conference today after he was asked to respond to allegations that Toronto officials have been lobbying for their city by raising the threat of a potential Quebec sovereignty referendum.
