A spokesperson for Sousa said the videos were taken during his campaign launch on May 12 and at a fundraiser they said McCallion hosted on May 17.

On Thursday afternoon, PC Leader Ford tweeted out a video in which McCallion said he was the right leader to “bring Ontario back to its status as the leading province in Canada.”

“Doug is committed to fixing Ontario’s finances, creating jobs, improving healthcare and services, and getting our taxes and hydro bills under control,” she stated in the clip.

McCallion, Mississauga’s longest-serving mayor, was in power from 1978 to 2014. She endorsed Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne in the 2014 election.
