Ontario Premier Doug Ford congratulated Toronto’s mayor elect Olivia Chow Monday night, less than a week after publicly saying that if she was chosen to lead the city, it would be an “unmitigated disaster.”
Toronto residents will elect a new mayor today, four months after former leader John Tory admitted to having an affair with a staffer and stepped down from the city's top job.
