The Ontario Liberals ended up being the big losers of the week, having to turf three candidates in total which means they won’t be able to run a full slate of 124 candidates and are facing questions about their verification process.
Del Duca found himself fending off the majority of the attacks, as the other leaders attempted to hold him accountable for 15 years of Liberal rule in Ontario – even though Del Duca was only present for seven of those years and was a cabinet minister for four.
