Doug Ford wouldn’t be Ontario’s premier if Patrick Brown hadn’t fallen off a credibility cliff a year ago. It’s open to question whether Ford appreciates this, as he’s running his government like he was Justin Trudeau at the peak of his popularity. While Trudeau was defending his honour in Ottawa, Ford was in one of those silly quibbles that politicians seem incapable of avoiding. But if Ford hoped to win acclaim as a tight-fisted spending hawk, he has room for improvement. There is a lot of room, and plenty of time, for the Ford government to get the big things right.
