Doug Ford, the newly elected leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives, said Tuesday the party will live up to the progressive part of its name while remaining fiscally conservative. Ford discussed his plans for the party when he stopped by CBC's Metro Morning to speak with guest host David Common. Asked whether he believes his party is progressive, Ford replied: "Absolutely I do." We're always going to have a big social heart for a lot of social issues. People don't always believe in that Liberal ideology that's been rammed down our throat from Kathleen Wynne for the last, well the Liberals, for the last 15 years, but amped up over Kathleen Wynne."
