Ontario Premier Doug Ford has revealed the mayoral candidate in Toronto he’s planning to vote for next week.
On Tuesday, Ford told reporters after an announcement in Ottawa he'd be voting for former Toronto police chief Mark Saunders.
“I put Mark's sign on my lawn, I'm proud to have his sign on the lawn,” he said.
“I’ll be voting for Mark,” Ford continued. “That’s just my opinion. He’d be the best mayor.”
Saunders was the first Black chief of police in Toronto, and held the role from 2015 to 2020, before failing to secure a seat for the PC Party in Don Valley West last election.
The premier reiterated that he is “staying out of the race,” a sentiment he first expressed back in March after telling reporters a month earlier, “If a left-wing mayor gets in there, we're toast.”
With the mayoral election just around the corner, Ford is faced with the possibility of frontrunner mayoral candidate Olivia Chow taking the top job. Her platform openly opposes some of Ford’s provincial plans, for example, the government’s move to make a new home for the Ontario Science Centre at Ontario Place.
