It’s a good thing Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau have learned to get along so well together over the past couple of years.
Both leaders have won the gift of extra time in office this year. Ford is now in office at Queen’s Park until at least 2026 after his stunning majority victory this week, while Trudeau plans to stick around to 2025, thanks to his governing pact with the federal New Democrats.
The two men have already had a convivial chat about where they’ve been and where they’re going in this unexpected friendship. They were on the phone, in fact, not long after the Conservative victory was declared on Thursday night.
“Both of us sat back and reviewed everything that we got done together,” Ford told reporters on Friday. “And there’s so much that unites us.”
