Ontario's NDP and Liberal leaders tried to keep voters focused on health care Monday, even as actions by the U.S. president threatened to once again draw attention elsewhere in the provincial election campaign.
Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford has tried to make dealing with President Donald Trump the ballot question in the snap Feb. 27 election he called, and kept his sights set on those external forces Monday.
Before Trump signed an executive order to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States starting March 4, Ford said at a campaign stop in Oakville, Ont., that he spoke in the morning to the heads of Stelco and Dofasco.
