TORONTO—Ontario’s newly elected Opposition leader is vowing to spend much of the next three months on the road campaigning for a spring election, saying his party is focused on forming government so it can find efficiencies and shape up the province’s finances.

Doug Ford, who narrowly won the Progressive Conservative leadership late March 10, laid out his plans to topple the governing Liberals during an unannounced first visit to the province’s legislature on March 12, where he met with his new staff.
