Toronto has dealt with a good chunk of Premiers who weren't from the GTA recently and actively hostile to it at one point. Mike Harris particularly comes to mind. Not surprising that an unapologetic Torontonian gets elected. But really even there, it's the unique dynamic of 905ers electing Ford to impose on a more left leaning 416. In the last election, the PCPO only got 32% of vote share and 11 of 25 seats in the 416. They won 29 of 30 905 seats with nearly 41% vote share.
