As Premier Doug Ford marks the second anniversary of taking office, he is acknowledging the challenges his Progressive Conservatives have faced at the halfway point of their mandate. Ford was sworn in on June 29, 2018, ending almost 15 years of Liberal rule under premiers Kathleen Wynne and Dalton McGuinty. “Anyone who says they don’t make mistakes or (face) bumps in the road would be lying to you,” he said Friday at Queen’s Park. “My main focus right now ... is COVID and the health and well-being of the people of Ontario,” the premier said. French, a Ford neighbour who still has some personal contact with the premier, was also removed from the Tory re-election campaign.
