The new leader of the Ontario Liberals is coming out swinging against his fellow party leaders.
At a public event in Thunder Bay last week, Steven Del Duca addressed an NDP statement that was critical of his work as the Liberal Transport Minister and said he can take it, he has broad shoulders.
“Doug Ford and Andrea Horwath can keep on attacking me. They can focus on me. Ontario Liberals will focus exclusively on the 15-million people who call this province home.”
Del Duca was questioned by the opposition party about his Northern roads maintenance record.
“If you live in this province and you want to see progress on public education. You want to see progress on public health care. You want a real plan to confront the climate crisis. You know Andrea Horwath and the NDP can not stop Doug Ford.”
Del Duca notes “When you look at Andrea Horwath’s record on multiple occasions, sadly on far too many occasions. When she’s had the chance to support progress. When she’s had the chance to look at ways to work with other progress-focused political parties. For her own reasons, sadly, she’s chosen to back-up the Conservatives.”
He adds “we can’t afford leaders like Andrea Horwath that are missing in action when the bell sounds.”
