Premier DOUG FORD was MIA for the first post-constit week debate — he was touring Windsor, territory of the New Democrats.
But ANDREA HORWATH was not about to let Ford hog all the local press, and prefaced her lead question with sympathy for the 1,800 auto workers poised to lose their jobs in the region.
THE HIGHLIGHTS: Binbrook nurses forced to give back negotiated wages thanks to Bill 124 — Saying yes to Ford’s “big fish” buddies but no to small biz — Quit dilly-dallying on $10-a-day child care with the feds — Cutting the waitlist for disability services — “When will the Premier stop saying yes to his friends on Bay Street?”— Saving auto jobs in Windsor — Paving Highway 413 makes “no economic or fiscal sense” — Bring in 10 paid sick days.
