On Monday, Trudeau and Ford shared the step to announce a more than $ 1 billion joint venture to build electric vehicles in Brampton and Windsor. However, before the announcement was made, Del Duca indicated that Ford’s motives were not genuine. “I suggest the prime minister is in power, but Doug Ford is campaigning. “Honestly, Doug Ford has been campaigning for much more than a year now, instead of doing the heavy lifting that the Ontarians asked him to do,” Del Duca told an unrelated press conference on Monday. Trinto rejected the suggestion that the appearance of the two leaders standing side by side should be translated into his support of Ford’s provincial election campaign. Instead, he said he felt it was unfair to delay their announcement any longer. “We have been working tirelessly on this for many, many, many months. And this is good news that I know Windsor dwellers would not want to wait another day. “This is an important announcement,” Trinto said. Ford reiterated this sentiment and ruled out the possibility that this joint announcement was a political ploy. “I am not interested in political stripes. People expect us to do it. We succeed. “And the people will decide on the second of June,” Ford said. While the prime minister has not yet called for elections, Ford is expected to do so within days, as the June 2 vote is just a few weeks away.
