Trailing in the polls with less than a week until the June 7 election, the Liberals have dropped the H-bomb — as in hash — on Doug Ford.

Using digital media ads in Punjabi, Chinese and Urdu, Kathleen Wynne’s party is drawing attention to a 2013 Globe and Mail story in which 10 anonymous sources alleged the Progressive Conservative leader was a hashish dealer in Etobicoke in the 1980s.

Ford has vigorously denied the accusation as “an outright lie” and threatened to sue the newspaper, but never did. The Star has not verified the allegations, and the issue had not surfaced in the campaign until now.

“It’s an issue that needs to be talked about,” Wynne said Friday.

1. I thought everyone knew Rob and Doug were mid-level drug dealers

2. Apparently not. I'm glad it is coming out so voters can see him lie when

he denies it.
