Crombie appeals to NDP voters in bid to oust Ford, but Stiles dismisses it as a Liberal survival strategy

With less than 10 days before election day, Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie is urging NDP supporters to vote strategically for her party to help unseat Doug Ford.

Crombie is positioning the Liberals as the main alternative to Ford’s PCs, who maintain a commanding lead over the opposition parties in most public opinion polling. Most surveys have the Liberals in a distant but solid second, while the NDP is back in third.

At the tail end of Monday’s leaders' debate, Crombie directly urged NDP supprters to join “Team Bonnie” to consolidate the anti-Ford vote under the Liberal banner.
