TORONTO – Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak stepped away from the microphone today, opting instead to do some glad-handing at a street festival in Toronto.
His handlers say it’s the first time during the campaign that Hudak has done such mainstreeting.
Hudak was caught slightly off-guard when one man, speaking rapid French, asked him about his plans for seniors and quizzed him on why he isn’t bilingual.
Hudak had to ask for a translation, but took it in stride, saying he was working on his French.
He then outlined parts of his platform for the man in English.
Hudak was accompanied on his stroll at the Ukrainian Festival in Toronto by his wife Deb Hutton and their three-year-old daughter Miller.
