CLOSER LOOK: Mr. Ford goes to Washington (again)

In this new feature, Village Media journalists break down an important story making headlines around the province. Tonight: We follow Doug Ford on another election-campaign detour to the U.S. Capitol

In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.

This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those reporters and editors.

Every weeknight, Village Media’s Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our journalists to explore a compelling story they are covering. These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.

On tonight's episode: Doug Ford takes another trip to Washington.

With just six days left to go until Ontarians head to the polls, PC Leader Doug Ford spent another day in Washington — this time, to lobby U.S. governors on the value of free trade with Canada.

How did Ford do on his Friday trip? About as well as the U.S. hockey team the night before, it appears.
