I don't know. I know the Conservative base is a bit strange these days but I can't imagine there's enough support in the party currently for Ford to consider a run federally under the CPC banner. Even in the Harper heydays it was common for the PCs in Queen's Park to beef with the Conservatives on Parliament Hill. These are two very separate groups and if anything the CPC has moved miles away from where Ford's camp is under Poilievre. I don't know if there's any appetite, or potential, for the CPC to return to a more moderate position in the near-future. It's tough to imagine Ford entering a machine that has been decimated and rebuilt to worship Poilievre.
