Doug Ford will not run for the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party and instead will support Christine Elliott for that job. Ms. Elliott is the wife of the late finance minister Jim Flaherty. Mr. Ford said the decision not to run was among the most difficult he has ever had to make. “I think my priority, well I know my priority’s my family.” Ford said at a news conference. He said he may yet run in a general election as a candidate for MPP.
