Early Life

Doug Ford was born on November 20, 1964 (age 57) in Etobicoke, Toronto, Canada. He was the second child of Doug Bruce and Ruth Diane Ford. The Ford family originally came from England. Upon graduating from Scarlett Heights Collegiate Institute in 1983, he spent five years there. Afterwards, he attended Humber College for two months.

Career

Doug Ford’s father ran a successful printing business that secured large contracts with Canadian political parties. The company is best known for its connections to Ontario politicians, especially members of the Provincial Legislature. Following his college graduation, Ford joined his father’s printing company in the early 1990s. In 2002, he became the company’s president, and he was responsible for the company’s global expansion. He gradually established himself as a respected businessman.

The company was well managed under his leadership after his father entered politics in 1994, according to former Deco employees. In 2010, however, his political inclinations caused the organization to deteriorate.

Doug Ford’s first foray into politics occurred in 1994, when D. Holyday requested that he print stickers proclaiming his candidacy for mayor. As a candidate for the provincial legislature, he aided his father’s mayoral campaign. For several years, he managed his late brother’s council campaigns, as well as Rob’s successful mayoral campaign in 2010.

Doug was elected to Ward 2 of the Toronto City Council on October 25, 2010. As Toronto’s mayor from 2010 to 2014, he succeeded his brother, Rob, who served from 2010 to 2014.

After a long battle with cancer, Rob Ford died in 2016 at the age of 46. PC Party leader Doug Jr. led the party to a landslide victory in Ontario’s general election in 2018. 76 of the 124 seats in the Ontario legislature were won by the PC Party on June 7, 2018. He had only been the leader of his party for less than 100 days when it won the election. A ceremony was held on Queen’s Park’s lawn to swear Doug in as Ontario’s Premier.

Ford Nation: Two Brothers, One Vision – The True Story of the People’s Mayor, written by Doug and Rob Ford, was published in 2016.

Wife| Personal Life

Karla Ford, Doug Ford‘s longtime lover, is his wife. They have four daughters: Krista, Kayla, Kara, and Kyla. Karla’s maternal ancestors, according to him, fled persecution in Europe and immigrated to Canada.

As a teenager, Ford was an “ethical vegetarian,” and while this is no longer the case, he abstains from eating red meat. Ford has struggled with his weight since at least 2012 when he took part in a public weight loss challenge. The media has fat-shamed him on occasion, and he’s been dubbed “unfashionably overweight” before. His mother, Diane Ford, died of cancer in January 2020.
