MacLeod praises Ford, pledges 'one Nepean' at campaign launch

Conservative incumbent MPP Lisa MacLeod kicked off her fifth campaign Sunday, packing a former Barrhaven pub for a celebrity-studded rally where she declared that “we are one Nepean” even as her party weathered a weekend bombshell.
Before hundreds of people jammed her strip mall headquarters she praised leader Doug Ford’s “strong leadership” and “decisive action” in ditching social conservative former leadership hopeful Tanya Granic Allen as a candidate.
