I'm not a political etiquette expert so I have no idea if this moment during Jerry Agar's show was out of the ordinary.
It went something like this. Deb Hutton interviews Chrystia Freeland on the Jerry Agar show this morning. Deb then interviews Doug Ford and during this interview plays a voice message from Chrystia Freeland for Doug Ford. Doug sounds pleased and makes a point of saying he's not going to say anything about the election but thinks Ms. Freeland is a fine person or words to that effect.
This positive response from the Premier could seem like an oblique show of support for Chrystia Freeland to the listeners.
No big deal right?

Ford has declared his respect and friendship with Freeland many times in the past. Carney is a shoo-in, and always was.

He did say that he wasn’t picking sides/ endorsing Freeland so I think it was no big deal. I thought it made for a light moment on radio with all that’s going on!

Thanks Walter and Shorty Wave for the insight, I'd no idea they were chummy.
