It’s a snow day across much of Ontario, but the Ontario election campaign is nevertheless plowing ahead. Here’s what’s happening today.
Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles speaks during a campaign event in Ottawa, Tuesday, Feb.4, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldNDP Leader Marit Stiles is accusing PC leader Doug Ford of violating the terms of his Washington trip with a post on X that appeared to blend images from the trip with his campaign slogan.
Government officials are not supposed to use their positions in order to politically promote themselves during an election, a policy generally referred to as the “Ford is in fact using his tax-payer funded Washington photo op for partisan purposes,” Stiles wrote, adding that he “keeps finding new and expensive ways to erode our democracy.”“Footage of the premier being the premier is routinely used in political social content; however, out of an abundance of caution, the video was reposted without campaign branding.
“Sandy knows Ontarians can’t afford to waste $10 billion dollars on a highway that will pave over 2,000 acres of prime farmland and slice through the Greenbelt when people in our rural communities don’t have access to health care,” Schreiner said.
