During the Ontario leaders debate, Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca and PC Leader Doug Ford faced off with the former saying Ford was fighting the 2018 provincial election "all over again," and said his party would work to make things affordable. Ford, however, criticized the record of the previous Liberal government, saying that Del Duca and his party "destroyed this province." Ford said Liberal policies resulted in jobs leaving the province and said the PCs were the only party who would cut taxes.
