I don’t see how this can possibly be a win for Ford. I expect he’d have been happy to run against Crombie again because there’s no reason to believe the outcome would be any different. The Liberals ran a relatively poor campaign, made a series of decisions that seemed counterproductive, and were thrashed. A fresh start on the back of a leadership convention offers a chance to bring the party back into public view under the leadership of somebody who will represent exciting change.
Doug Ford wins again
