First Ontario election debate sees Doug Ford’s record on housing come under fire

The leaders of Ontario’s New Democratic, Liberal and Green parties went on the offensive Thursday against Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford’s record on housing in the first debate of the provincial election campaign.The topic has been little discussed in the first half of the snap campaign, but the three party leaders saw an opportunity during the debate held specifically to discuss northern issues to press Ford on not meeting his own targets to build housing across the province.
