Ontario’s Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford is defending his decision not to appear beside Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre during the federal election, saying the federal Tories declined to help during the provincial election.
“The last time I checked, Pierre Poilievre never came out in our election,” Ford said during a press conference in Mississauga. “Matter of fact, him or one of his lieutenants told every one of his members, ‘Don’t you dare move to help the [Progressive Conservatives].’ Isn’t that ironic?”
