The election campaign is on for the Province of Ontario. Voters will head to the polls on February 27. Doug Ford, Marit Stiles, Bonnie Crombie, and Mike Schreiner will now vie for leadership as Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath expand their coverage during the writ period.

The Financial Accountability Office probed Doug Ford's plan to expand alcohol access early, and taxpayers could be picking up a $1.4 billion tab.

Ontario New Democratic Party leader Marit Stiles says, if elected, she will eliminate tolls on Highway 407 for everyone, but is that a good plan? Steve and John Michael dive into the costs.
