ETOBICOKE — Doug Ford wants a new job. That much we know for sure. He told reporters as much in his mother’s yard on Tuesday. “As sure as I’m standing here,” Ford said — and he was standing, near the lion statues, not far from the pool — “I’m running for something.”

Ford didn’t specify what he’s running for, per se. It isn’t clear he knows yet. But he’s back in the race. At some point, he’ll let you know which one.

On Tuesday, in Etobicoke, Ford held something between a book launch and a political coming out party. He announced the pending publication of a tell-all book, Ford Nation, he co-wrote with his late brother, Rob Ford. He also set the stage for his own political comeback, taking potshots at the mayor of Toronto, the premier of Ontario and the prime minister of Canada, all while promising more fireworks to come.

“I can assure you I will be running … politically,” Ford said. “I’ve been pretty up front. I don’t know if it will be holding the mayor accountable … or the premier … or our new prime minister, running around taking pictures with Vogue rather than worrying about jobs and the finances of this country.”
