By Robert BenzieQueen’s Park Bureau Chief

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called Doug Ford to ask for his help in the upcoming federal election campaign, but the premier told him he would be too busy governing Ontario, the Star has learned.

Federal and provincial Tory sources said Poilievre phoned the premier on Monday to finally offer his congratulations for the Progressive Conservatives’ Feb. 27 re-election.

The conversation — 18 days after Ford’s victory, which then-prime minister Justin Trudeau had saluted moments after it was official — lasted almost half an hour.

He has no business being PM.

Ford is right to turn him down.

Step 1: Pierre Axe The Tax Poilievre said he would bring legislation to boost digital block chain currency like BitCoin.

Step 2: He invests in his own policy.

Step 3: He accuses Carney of conflict of interest.
