Ontario’s Liberals have asked Elections Ontario to investigate Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford’s use of campaign videos that the governing party says might flout election finance rules. The website features news about Ford’s campaign, with staffers speaking directly to the camera and interviewing supporters using Ford Nation-branded microphones. “Unlike Kathleen Wynne who is (campaigning) on the taxpayer’s dime, we are following the Elections Ontario rules,” Melissa Lantsman said. Last month, the Tories asked Elections Ontario to investigate after accusing Wynne’s government of spending public funds on campaign-style events ahead of the campaign’s official launch. Elections Ontario has said the organization does not comment on complaints they receive or investigations they undertake.
