Ontario's four major party leaders will take part in a live studio debate on Feb. 17, ten days before voters go to the polls.

It’s a big day for provincial election candidate leaders, Doug Ford, Bonnie Crombie, Mike Schreiner and Marit Stiles, as they prepare to participate in a debate focused on northern Ontario issues held at Canadore College in North Bay.

The leaders of Ontario's New Democratic, Liberal and Green parties are going on the offensive against Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford in the first election debate of the campaign, pressing him in particular on his record on housing.
