Ford has the benefit of running against a crippled provincial Liberal Party that was in power way too long and people are still bitter about the money wasted over the power plant scandal. But you’re right - he’s governed mostly as a moderate Conservative. He’s likely upset the right wing of his own party more than any other constituency in the province, aside from teachers.
