Olivia Chow continued to hammer John Tory on how he plans to fund his platform, and predicted that Tory would have to make cuts in services to pay for his promises.
That came at a lunchtime debate on Tuesday at the Canadian Club — a one-on-one debate between the two front runners since the third leading candidate, Doug Ford, said he had another engagement and did not attend.
Most questions asked of both candidates were turned into attacks on Tory's platform from Chow. She used his ideas on bike lanes, tree planting, youth unemployment and most of all transit to highlight what she characterized was a lack of details in his promises.
"If you make a vague promise ... how are you going to be held accountable?" said Chow when asked about accountability.
She said not costing out his plan would result in service cuts.
"He'll cut vital services because he hasn't costed out his plans," said Chow bluntly.
Tory responded by promising not to cut any services.
No cutting on services? Want to buy more snake oil?
