Tory could easily lose the next election if he only has 1 major opponent who represents progressive values.  It is hard for Doug Ford to enter the race when Tory is somewhat a proven commodity after one term and scandal free. Tory has made two major gaffes with consecutive TTC fare hikes (he promised to freeze them in his first year) and getting his motion passed to introduce road tolls (which the province blocked). People can't trust him to keep the TTC affordable or the highways toll free. Tory is also the Chief of a pair of boondoggles in the Hybrid reconstruction of the Eastern portion of the Gardiner and the One-Stop Scarborough Subway. Both projects keep increasing in cost by the day and are counter productive to earlier decisions. The 5 stop RT is being replaced by 1 subway station. Tory was going to ask all Torontonians to pay for the Gardiner reconstruction but only those who can afford the tolls will be able to use it. Smart Track is also not going to be built as advertised.
