CTV
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday he has no interest in entering a potential Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) leadership race in the event that current leader Erin O'Toole is booted out.
Ford was joined by Minister of Long-term Care Paul Calandra and Minister of Infrastructure Kinga Surma to announce the construction of a new 320-bed long-term care home in Ajax when he was asked if he had any interest in a federal leadership role.
“My hands are full,” Ford said. “I love being premier of this province. That's my job.”
“I'm just 24/7 working on getting us out of this pandemic,” he added.
Ford has previously gone on the record to say he has no interest in federal politics, stating that his main focus is Ontario.
