Boris was going through his morning routine when he walked into his kitchen a little before 7 a.m. Friday, his radio tuned to NEWSTALK 1010. He heard a man in conversation with host John Moore talking about Ontario's energy system.
"I was surprised you were giving this person so much time because they didn't know what they were talking about," Boris later told Moore in the Morning.
He was stunned to learn he had been listening to the man hoping to unseat to Liberals next year: Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown.
Another listener, Steve, also joined the interview mid-way.
"I was saying to myself ' oh gosh, please don't let this be Patrick Brown, please don't let this be Patrick Brown'. At some point in time someone in opposition has to get their act together. This is getting actually scary for me as a voter."
