Doug Ford, Marit Stiles, Bonnie Crombie, and Mike Schreiner participated in the second and final Ontario leaders' debate before the provincial election. Marit Stiles was widely viewed as the winner, particularly for her stronger performance compared to Bonnie Crombie, who was seen as losing ground. Stiles effectively challenged Doug Ford, while Ford struggled to provide convincing responses to critiques of his policies, such as the Ontario Place redevelopment and the tunnel project under Highway 401.
