Opinion | Voters are cooling on Doug Ford, but they aren’t warming up to anyone else Original

By Martin Regg Cohn Verified
| The Toronto Star Verified
Love me. Love me not. Doug Ford couldn’t hide his hurt when the bad news came out: Could it be true that he’s now the least loved of all premiers?

Yes, the fighting wound down in Iran last March, only to flare up in the Strait of Hormuz again this week. No one can predict how the latest American-Iranian war of words and nerves will end, except that it will eventually — because both sides are suing for peace while shooting projectiles at each other.
