It is easy to forget it was only last year, during an Ontario election campaign focused on the threat of U.S. tariffs, that Premier Doug Ford let slip he wanted Donald Trump to win the presidency.
“On election day, was I happy this guy won? One hundred per cent I was,” said Ford, caught on a hot mic at his Etobicoke campaign office.
“Then the guy pulled out the knife and f—-ing yanked it in me,” he said, motioning his arm as if stabbing someone.
