Ford says 'truth hurts' when asked about criticism of federal Conservative campaign | CBC News
Briefly

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is backing his former campaign manager Kory Teneycke, who has openly criticized Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's campaign, claiming it needs a strategic pivot to avoid disaster. Ford emphasized Teneycke's expertise, indicating that had Teneycke been in charge, Poilievre might not be facing current challenges. As federal polls show the Liberals leading, Ford reminded reporters that time remains before elections, and the public's choice will ultimately dictate the outcome. Meanwhile, Poilievre downplays the criticisms, asserting that voters will decide on election day.
Ford suggested Poilievre's campaign might be wise to listen to Teneycke's advice. 'If Kory was running that campaign, I don't think Mr. Poilievre would be in the position he's in right now.'
Ford stated, 'There's still a lot of time left. We still have debates. At the end of the day, the people will decide which way they want this country to move forward.'
Kory Teneycke has been an outspoken critic of the federal Conservative campaign, suggesting it was headed for disaster and urgently needs to pivot its strategy.
Despite Poilievre's declining poll numbers, he has asserted, 'Canadians will make their decision on voting day.'
