A little more than a month ago, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals dropped $14,000 on a Twitter ad campaign in Ontario, warning voters in roughly two dozen of the province’s ridings not to elect another Doug Ford. On Friday, Trudeau and Ford will be having what’s widely expected to be a cordial meeting in Ottawa, to talk over what they can do together to help the province. All the talk of Western alienation in the wake of the federal election has almost erased the memories of the running antagonism between Ford and Trudeau during the campaign. Still, expect the Trudeau government to be more diplomatic overall with the Ontario premier than the Trudeau party was during the election. While Ford was mostly invisible in the campaign, and says now he’s all fine about it, he was evoked in spirit many, many times by Trudeau.
