Doug Ford faces criticism over affordability and health care as Ontario's election nears.

In the Ontario provincial election debate, Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford faced criticism from the Green Party, NDP, and Liberals over affordability, health care, and housing. Ford defended his indexing of Ontario Disability Support Program payments to inflation, while his opponents pledged to double the rates. The debate also touched on topics like rent control, tax cuts, and building homes on protected Greenbelt land. The election is scheduled for February 27. The Green Party leader, Mike Schreiner, separately announced plans to build 36,000 affordable homes and recruit 350 doctors for Northern Ontario.
