Harper To Ontario: Focus On Economy, Not ‘Confrontation’.
MARKHAM, Ont. – The Prime Minister chastised the Ontario government on Thursday, saying it ought to focus less on “confrontation” and more on getting its fiscal house in order.
Stephen Harper made his comments at an event in Markham, Ont., where he was asked why it has been so long since he met with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. The two last met a year ago and Wynne has repeatedly voiced her frustrations over not being able to sit down with the prime minister.
“I meet regularly with premiers across the country and we anticipate we will have another meeting at some point in time,” Harper said, before launching into a series of sharper comments.
“We all know that the government of Ontario has some pretty significant challenges. I would encourage the government of Ontario to focus on those things, not on confrontation.”
Harper did not mention Wynne by name, but took time to compare his federal Conservatives with Ontario’s governing Liberals.
