NDP asking integrity commissioner to investigate Ford's trip to Washington

Ontario's NDP and Liberal leaders criticized Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford for a trip to Washington during an election, claiming it served partisan purposes.
Ford traveled to Washington to oppose U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats, supported by taxpayer-funded travel expenses.
The integrity commissioner stated Ford's trip was permissible due to urgent public interest reasons but cautioned against using the activities for partisan purposes.
Following its initial posting, Ford's social media video featuring Washington footage was removed and reposted without the Progressive Conservative Party logo after concerns were raised about its use for campaigning.
