(Warning, my autism is at 11 today so I took it super literally. Save yourself the annoyance if it was rhetorical.)
To clarify, are you asking why Doug Ford is still in power?
He is Premier because his party won the 2025 election with a majority of seats in the provincial parliament, meaning (realistically) there will not be another election until he calls one or 4 years pass. The other path to him leaving is him stepping down/being forced out of the party leadership. That’s entirely within the control of the party.
He called the election in 2025, already having a majority from the 2022 election to take advantage of Trump’s influence. He said he was asking for a mandate to fight the trade war, and he got it.
Residents of Toronto hating him doesn’t impact him being Premier. His party got 80 seats. This infograph I stole from Wikipedia explains where those seats are.
The province has absolute control over cities (as defined in the provinces laws) so what the cities think have no bearing on his actions.
and why is he still in power? clearly he’s a fucking nonce and residents hate him.
