Doug Ford
Caroline Mulroney
A conventional take on the scheduled March leadership convention of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario is that the heavyweight contenders are Doug Ford and Caroline Mulroney. Name recognition and political credentials bulk large for both as does their desire to defeat Kathleen Wynne, ending the 15-year Liberal suzerainty of the province. Ford is a pugnacious defender of the people’s money while Mulroney is a lawyer, businesswoman, wife and mother. She has the Mulroney name and has already been acclaimed in the Conservative heartland riding of York-Simcoe.
