Ontario Premier Doug Ford voiced his support for Toronto Mayor John Tory Wednesday, saying if he follows through with his resignation and a “lefty” mayor gets elected, it would be “a disaster” for the city.

Ford, speaking in Brampton, Ont., after making an unrelated announcement, said Tory has been a “phenomenal partner” and it was not time to change the leadership of the city because everything was going “tickety-boo.”
