Toronto Mayor John Tory has taken aim at nemesis Doug Ford’s shifting political ambitions and campaign launch location. Tory was asked by reporters about Ford — who had vowed a rematch with Tory in the October civic election, but is now seeking the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party — on Tuesday during a visit to a Scarborough recreation centre. “I have trouble keeping up with his ambitions,” a grinning Tory said of Ford who, if he fails to become PC leader and contest the June provincial election, could still seek the mayor’s chair. The civic campaign starts in May but candidates have months to declare their candidacy. Someone who’s ready to clean up the mess and lead us into the June election,” Ford told reporters crowded into in an area, cleared of couches, between the fireplace and the bar.
