Because Doug Ford could find little to earn from a campaign and then

After the significant victory of the majority of Doug Ford in Ontario, one might think that the conservative leader Pierre Poir then would have raced the premier to ask for help in winning the crucial province of the battlefield in the federal elections.

Poiievre, however, said that he had not contacted the progressive conservative leader of the Ontario for assistance. Ford, meanwhile, has indicated that he will not publicly support any of the candidates, insisting on the fact that he will remain outside the campaign to focus on his province.

Ford remained out of the federal campaigns of 2019 and 2021. But part of his reluctance to make a campaign for a conservative partner in these elections can be motivated by the friction between the two leaders, say some analysts. And it could also be rooted in the perception that the premier of the Ontario sees a small political gain, helping later.

“It would be of great benefit and then then I think Ford saw alone,” said Andrea Lawlor, associate professor of political science at McMaster University.

The Ontario will always have a “place at the table”

Ford does not risk being ignored from Poiievre if he wins, he said.

“The Ontario will always have a place at the table,” said Lawlor. “I think that in the case of Ford in particular, he has shown that he will work with anyone who has the same political objectives. And I think they are so aligned with (the liberal Mark liberal leader) at this moment as they would be with Poiievre.”

The Ontario, with its 122 seats, will again be the key to the electoral victory. It would therefore seem to be in Ford’s interest helping a conservative partner like Poilievre Secure Victory. And that it would be in Poiievre’s interest to make a significant effort to obtain Ford’s support.

“Why shouldn’t you hook your wagon for Doug Ford?” Julie Simmons, associate professor of political science at the University of Guelph said.

Yet so far, there seems to be no effort to unite the strength. In fact, then he denied a story of Toronto who had recently called Ford in search of his assistance. Ford also denied that Poiievre was looking for help, but said he indicated to the conservative leader who would remain outside the federal elections.

Last week he asked for a campaign for the campaign and then, Ford said that “nobody will help. It’s not my job”.

He added that his priority is to make Ontario go on. As for the fact that its MPPs can help the federal conservatories, he said they will be “absolutely submerged” with the fulfillment of their mandates and should be concentrated on the Ontario.

Ford would not say if he would have a better relationship with Poiievre or Carney, insisting instead that “will work with anyone”.

But he admitted that it is “no secret” that has developed close relationships with some ministers of the Federal Liberal Cabinet, including Chrystia Freeland and Dominic Leblanc.

“I don’t know any of them, to be very sincere,” said Ford from Poiievre and Carney.

Yet Ford met Carney in March before swearing as Prime Minister for breakfast in an EtoBicoke restaurant. He praised Carney as a “gentleman” who has an “extremely cunning entrepreneurial mind” and “includes numbers”.

Ford suggested that the recent phone call with Poilievre was the first time he contacted the premier since he then became a conservative leader in 2022.

‘No love lost’

The fact that Poiievre had apparently waited for weeks to congratulate Ford personally with his victory raised political eyebrows.

“I think there is certainly no lost love between them,” said Simmons. “I think the lack of cooperation comes more from the Ford side than the Poilievre side.”

But that lack of cooperation can also reflect the different type of conservative that every man represents, said Simmons.

“(Poiievre) It is more right than the ONARI are traditionally as conservatives,” said Simmons.

Lawlor agreed that both offer different strands of conservative policy in Canada and that Ford is more a pragmatic, a “public awareness populist” who sees his work as a large electoral college.

“While the Poiievre conservatism brand is more ideological and oriented towards values,” he said.

“They are not enemies, but they are not even natural allies.”

However, they have been reported to us on the bad blood between the progressive conservatives of Ontario and federal conservatives, who criticize their provincial counterparts so as not to be quite conservative.

But there is also a tension between the conservative strategist veteran Kory Tenaycke, who managed Ford’s recent re -election, and the main strategist of Poiievre, Jenni Byrne.

Teneycke recently became the public to blow up the federal campaign, saying it was directed to the defeat unless it has rotated And he focused on the President of the United States Donald Trump.

A conservative has suggested to the news of the CBC that the tension – not only between Teneycke and Byrne, but also among the conservative leaders of the Honesty and Federal – is equivalent to a “civil war” within the conservative movement.

Kathy Brock, professor of political studies at Queen’s University, said that it could be “dangerous for both sides” to have Ford actively campaigns and then.

He said that Poilievre may not think that he needs Ford to win peripheral runs in the large area of ​​Toronto and that Ford does not offer any advantage to obtain votes from urban areas such as Toronto or Ottawa.

As for Ford, he said he could have difficulty criticizing later as prime minister if he approved it.

“He will feel suddenly to turn his back on his ally. It is not Doug Ford and not as people want to see Doug Ford,” he said.

“If Caryy enters, well, he burned an important bridge and will probably suffer for that.”
