Carolyn Parrish and Doug Ford weren’t obvious allies.
For years, Parrish had built her brand as blunt, unapologetic and willing to go her own way — and on the night she became Madame Mayor, she made clear she wasn’t about to change.
“I’m not going to read all this — it’s way too much,” said Parrish, tossing aside her prepared victory speech. No script in hand, she promised a “stronger” Peel Region, with a new mayor who can “actually get along” with the other two — and act “formidable” when making the case for funding to the Ford government.
It was a hint at a reset — and a clear dig at her predecessor, Bonnie Crombie, the then-new Liberal leader, whose relationship with Ford, as mayor, had deteriorated.
