The Premier’s office released a stunning statement Friday evening saying Ford had accepted his chief of staff’s resignation and that French will be returning to the private sector “as he had always planned.”
French’s resignation was met with disbelief and celebration within the entire Progressive Conservative party, including MPPs who tell CTV News Toronto there is a “wave of relief.”
Other party insiders say French was known to have a brash temperament and would often scold MPPs and staff alike.
“He’s aggressive, he is mean, he is condescending,” said another party source who was granted anonymity.
French, the source says, would regularly threaten to kick staffers or elected MPPs out of the Progressive Conservative caucus “for not being a team player.”
