Political views
Ford was one of the council's supporters of former Progressive Conservative Premier of Ontario Mike Harris. He backed Jim Flaherty in the 2002 Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership election, displaying a sign supporting Flaherty in the window of his office at Toronto City Hall.
In 2003, he supported increased funding for the TTC. He also supported the inquiry into the MFP scandal.[6]
He said, “If I was the chief, I would have moved in Saturday afternoon and cleaned house” about the 2010 G-20 Toronto summit protests. He also said, "I don't think there should be an inquiry or review... I think our police force was too nice."[7]
