Doug Ford's alliance with Mark Carney highlights division with Poilievre

Ontario Premier Doug Ford met with former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, signaling a new alliance between the provincial Conservatives and federal Liberals. This meeting contrasts with the absence of Pierre Poilievre, leader of the federal Conservative Party, from Ford's circle. Ford has shifted his approach, seeking broader voter appeal and collaborating with former political rivals. He now values advice from business leaders and experts, while Poilievre maintains a more confrontational stance, distancing himself from elites. The meeting highlights a growing divide between Ford and Poilievre. Ford praised Carney's business acumen, a compliment he has not extended to Poilievre, who lacks business experience. This dynamic raises questions about their relationship moving forward.
