    The situation in Ontario is critical, and recent revelations from the Ford MPP expense scandal have only deepened the crisis. With the Ontario PC Party polling in the low 30s and Ford's popularity sinking into the 20s, we have an unprecedented opportunity to challenge his corrupt government. The upcoming by-election in Hamilton East-Stoney Creek is not just another election; it's a chance to send a resounding message that we demand accountability and transparency from our leaders. We must unite to prevent the progressive left from fragmenting the vote, allowing a Ford candidate to slip through the cracks and win by default. In a thought-provoking conversation, Laura Babcock sits down with Heino Doessing, the Liberal candidate, to ask how to stop vote splitting on the left and how he plans to tackle the pressing issues facing Ontario.
