Doug Ford wants to run for the Progressive Conservative leadership to “clean up the mess” after the stunning resignations of leader Patrick Brown and party president Rick Dykstra. “I’m not sure what Doug Ford means when he says ‘party elites.’ I come from a middle-class family in Newmarket. That was a shot at Ford, who inherited his wealth from his late father, Doug Ford, Sr., who left his children the family label business. While Ford plans to hold a rally Saturday night at the Toronto Congress Centre, it remains to be seen whether there will actually be a Conservative leadership contest. Richard Ciano, the past president, said the party is in no shape to hold a leadership election.
