Former premier Mike Harris is stepping up his campaign to make Tim Hudak the next leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives, as all four candidates race to pick up steam ahead of the leadership contest in late June.
In a video obtained by The Canadian Press, Harris urges party members to vote for Hudak, saying he’s their best shot at beating Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty in the 2011 provincial election.
Hudak is a “champion” for hard work, lower taxes and middle-class families, and can “energize and unite” the party, Harris says in the video. The two spoke at a Tory fundraiser yesterday.
