“If a lefty mayor gets in there, God help the people at Toronto.'

Ontario Premier Doug Ford raised concerns about a “lefty mayor” being elected in Toronto after John Tory’s resignation, saying he believes it would be a “disaster” for the city and now isn’t the time for a leadership change.

“If left wing mayor gets in there, we're toast. I'll tell you, it would be a disaster in my opinion.” Ford and Tory have been seen as staunch allies over the year. Tory has supported much of the Progressive Conservative’s agenda, including the use of strong mayor powers to amend bylaws and pass a budget.

However, he spent a significant amount of time touting Tory’s tenure, saying he has done a great job on building transit, keeping taxes low and expanding the city’s transit system.“Everything's going tickety-boo with Toronto, working well with the federal and provincial government, and what happens in our private lives is strictly up to the mayor and their family,” he said.
