In provincial politics PC leader Doug Ford has made a bold promise, saying he will fire the Chief Executive Officer and entire board of Hydro One, if elected.

The provincial election is less than two months away and Ford is hitting on some hot-button issues that he knows will resonate with Ontario voters.

He held a news conference Thursday in Toronto and says after travelling the province, voters are telling him they are struggling to pay their electricity bills.

However, the Ontario Premier does not hold the power to fire Hydro One’s CEO. That decision must come from Hydro One's board.
