In a last-minute attempt to soften his image, Doug Ford reveals that he loves chocolate milk

Doug Ford is warming up his final pre-election charm offensive. The mayoral candidate gave a sit-down interview to CityNews yesterday and another to CP24 today. This wouldn’t be so remarkable were it not for the fact that his wife, Karla, who has never been interviewed formally before, was sitting next to him both times. Ford clearly chose his interviewers well. Topics ranged from his art collection (“It’s beautiful, some of the pictures,” Ford said), to what a great father he is, to his love of chocolate milk. The toughest moment for the Fords came during the CityNews interview, when reporter Avery Haines asked Karla about Doug’s claim that she is Jewish. Karla insisted that her heritage is Jewish, but that she personally is not observant. “I don’t practice Judism,” she said, misprounouncing the word “Judaism.”
