Despite their past political differences, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow held their first-ever joint press conference at Queen’s Park on Monday, where they expressed their focus on unity and announced a new-deal working group to help achieve long-term stability and sustainability for Toronto’s finances. On top of that, Ford announced a $42 million investment to help house asylum seekers across the province.
