Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called Doug Ford to ask for his help in the upcoming federal election campaign, but the premier told him he would be too busy governing Ontario, the Star has learned.
Federal and provincial Tory sources said Poilievre phoned the premier on Monday to finally offer his congratulations for the Progressive Conservatives’ Feb. 27 re-election.
The conversation — 18 days after Ford’s victory, which then-prime minister Justin Trudeau had saluted moments after it was official — lasted almost half an hour.
