https://www.durhamregion.com/news-story/8128168-ford-says-he-ll-run-as-mpp-no-matter-what/Doug Ford committed Saturday to running for a seat in the Ontario legislature this June even if he loses the leadership race for the province's Progressive Conservatives.
But Ford said he's confident he can translate a history of electoral success in Toronto into a win provincially, not just for leadership but for the Ontario PCs as a whole.

Doug Ford committed Saturday to running for a seat in the Ontario legislature this June even if he loses the leadership race for the province’s Progressive Conservatives.
It’s probably the least worst outcome, particularly if he loses both.This wouldn't bother me.
It’s probably the least worst outcome, particularly if he loses both.
He’s been complaining today that he hasn't had enough time to sign up all of Ford Nation - so he's already working in his victim narrative.It is indeed heart-warming to consider the cruel laughter that awaits our boy should this happen, but keep in mind it's all one to Dofo. If he loses (as will likely be the case) he'll simply start screaming that the ever-so-convenient-and-vaguely-defined "Elites" were the cause of it all, and that he woulda won fair 'n' square if th' Man hadn't been keeping him down. And all bellowed with a complete lack of any shame or self-awareness or willingness to accept so much as a molecule of responsibility for his being, y'know, a loser. Just as Trump was gearing up to do until his surprise win, and just as Hillary Clinton actually did. We see far too much of such bullshit from our politicos these days, especially from self-promoting 'mavericks' of Thug's ilk.
(Snip).... It would be fitting that Doug Ford be elected premier - not because he's the best, but because all the other reasonable options were rejected.
Maybe then the left will realize that they occasionally have to abandon a bad plan, or a bad government.
Rob wasn't any better and the good citizens of Toronto voted for him. I've learned to never over estimate the intelligence of the average voter.Doug Ford is a corrupt, lazy, vindictive, self absorbed liar and bully who did nothing but spread division and chaos during his single term on city council. Why would it ever be fitting for such a person to be head of government...anywhere?
So who’s going to run against Tory now that Ford is gone?
