Three of four party leaders, and the debate moderator, said they might meet up in Thunder Bay this summer during a lighthearted moment in the second of two provincial leaders debates.
TORONTO — Two of four major party leaders in Ontario said they hoped to make their way to Northwestern Ontario for a weekend in the great outdoors.
NDP leader Marit Stiles said she likes to spend her weekends swimming in Ontario's lakes. "I have yet to, I will say honestly, ever swam in Lake Superior. So that is my next try," she said. "Although I hear it's pretty cold, so I'm going to wait until the summer, obviously." Stiles also made a recent visit to the city.
"People in the north have to drive 4 or 5 hours to see a family doctor," said Crombie. One item in a list of healthcare issues she blamed on a lack of investment in public healthcare by the Ford government. "By your own admission Doug, you put $1.8 billion in to your plan for healthcare. You put more into the spa at Ontario Place at $2.1 billion" charged Crombie.Stiles also raised the closure of 10 safe consumption sites across the province, which included Path 525 in Thunder Bay, when she was asked about her party's plan to handle addictions and mental health.
His government increased ODSP rates with inflation, Ford responded, "but you can't pay people on ODSP if you don't have an economy. And all you three believe in is simple, just tax the people to death."
