TORONTO – Doug Ford says he’s in favour of gun control, after the Liberals released an audio recording of him saying, “guns don’t kill people, crazy people with guns kill people.”
The Liberals attacked the Progressive Conservative leader after Premier Kathleen Wynne admitted over the weekend that her party won’t win Thursday’s election.

When asked about the remarks today, Ford said he’s in favour of strong gun laws.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath began the day campaigning in London, Ont., where she said it was probably tough for Wynne to make her admission on the weekend, but called her plea to elect Liberals to keep a minority government in check “tone deaf.”
