“We’ll address it immediately, and, as I said over and over again, we won’t tolerate anything along those lines as we did with the Brampton East candidate,” he said.
That was a reference to Simmer Sandhu, who resigned his candidacy one week ago after being linked to the alleged data breach at the 407 ETR toll highway, where personal information of 60,000 users was compromised.
York Regional Police’s major fraud squad is investigating that case as an “inside theft.”
Sandhu, a former 407 ETR employee, has denied any wrongdoing. He has not been charged with any offences and has called any allegations against him “anonymous” and “totally baseless.”
“The election is too important to get caught up in the issues surrounding any one person,” he said May 16.
Sandhu was replaced by Sudeep Verma as the Conservative candidate in Brampton East.
Several Hwy. 407 users have contacted the Star to say they have received “robocalls” from the Conservatives canvassing them for support in the June 7 election.
“How did (they) get our phone numbers? The only common thread is that my sons and I have is that we all, at one time or another, have driven the 407,” said one motorist, who called to report unusual election-related phone calls to his family.
Another man said he has received two robocalls from the Tories since Ford became leader on March 10.
“I live in northern Ontario and use the 407 very seldom. The last time was two years ago when we visited our daughter in Woodstock,” he said.
Ford has repeatedly blamed his predecessor, Patrick Brown, who resigned Jan. 25, for leaving him “a mess” of a party organization.

Ontario Liberal Party to release recording of Doug Ford, Etobicoke candidate Kinga Surma

The Ontario Liberal Party says it will be releasing audio of Progressive Conservative Party Leader Doug Ford and Etobicoke Centre PC candidate Kinga Surma that will “implicate” Ford in “another nomination and membership controversy.”
In a press release issued by the Liberals late Wednesday afternoon, it said the tape will be released at the party’s headquarters in downtown Toronto Thursday morning.
Additional details about the recording weren’t released by the Liberals.
Global News contacted Surma’s campaign office and a spokesperson said they “are taking this very seriously.”
According to a biography posted on Surma’s site, she worked for Doug Ford’s brother, former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, during his 2010 mayoral election campaign. Surma subsequently went to work for Rob Ford at city hall.
In the 2014 Toronto election, Surma ran to become the councillor for Ward 5 – Etobicoke—Lakeshore. She came a distant second to Justin Di Ciano. Her biography said she then went to work for Christine Elliott’s 2015 leadership campaign and eventually for former Ontario PC Party Leader Patrick Brown.
In a 2016 statement, Brown congratulated Surma on being nominated as the candidate for Etobicoke Centre.
“A long-time activist within the Polish-Canadian community, and having served as a board member with local organizations like the Stomegate Community Health Centre and Polycultural Immigrant Community Services, Kinga understands the challenges her community faces,” Brown wrote on Nov. 22.
“Through her experience working at all three levels of government and as a tireless conservative activist, I am sure that Kinga will be a strong representative for the residents of Etobicoke Centre.”
Doug Ford was elected leader of the Ontario PC Party during a leadership convention in March. He was acclaimed as the Ontario PC Party candidate in Etobicoke North later that month.
The leadership race was triggered after Patrick Brown stepped down in January amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
Ford served as a Toronto city councillor during the 2010-2014 term of office and previously worked in his family’s business, Deco Labels.
