Doug Ford has been effusive in his praise of Carney's economic plans since they met for lunch shortly after the federal election.

These comments are a little more personal. They've clearly hit it off.

Premier Doug Ford said Prime Minister Mark Carney spent the night at the Ford family cottage on Monday night on Day 1 of the first ministers’ meeting in Huntsville, Ont.

“Full disclosure. Prime Minister (Carney) stayed at my place,” Ford said Tuesday at the conclusion of a news conference in cottage country.

Ford said he has “every confidence” that the prime minister will secure a good deal for Canada as negotiations with the U.S. continue.


“The prime minister is the most humble person you’d ever want to meet,” Ford said of Carney.

“The prime minister was a Goldman Sachs guy, worked on Bay Street, he was the chair of Brookfield… chair of Bloomberg, everyone knows Bloomberg, Bank of Canada governor, Bank of England governor, he has never said that in his entire time I’ve known him. He doesn’t do that. He’s very humble. He listens. He is a smart businessperson.”

This will really steam Poilievre. Despite both being conservatives Ford did not endorse Pierre in the election.

Ford does seem to be raising his profile all the time. He will probably challenge Poilievre at some point, but not while he still has a Province to run.

That would an interesting development. Ford is more center aligned than Poilievre and not nearly as stupid.
 
Ford can also claim to have a more than five syllable resume.
 
Yes, Ford did use to make some great cars with the Mondeo and Focus but being in love with the company seems a bit much.
