Ontario Leaders Clash Over Health Care, Housing, and Greenbelt in Final Debate

With the provincial election 10 days away, Doug Ford defends his record as opposition leaders sharpen attacks on key issues.

Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford faced criticism from opposition leaders on health care, housing, and his Greenbelt reversal during the final televised debate.
Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie positioned herself as the main alternative to Ford, appealing to NDP voters to unite against the PCs while defending her record against attacks.
NDP Leader Marit Stiles focused on flipping PC-held seats, accusing Ford of abandoning Ontarians by calling an early election and targeting Crombie's campaign tactics.
The Green Party's Mike Schreiner highlighted education and health care concerns, questioning government spending priorities and advocating for stronger community representation.
Polling suggests Ford maintains a significant lead, but opposition leaders aim to shift focus to local issues like health care accessibility and housing affordability before the February 27 election.
