Ford is a mobster, not a religious zealot.

He's also sneakier, and lies so well it's hard to tell the truth from fiction.

If you come in with the baseline that none of them tell the truth, it's a lot easier to figure out who is lying.

Ontario is also not Alberta: Smith's cheques are signed by the oil industry, and you have to get deep into denialism to whitewash that industry, and denialism comes with a lot of anti-intellectual and protofascist baggage.

Ford's are signed by real-estate developers and small-business douchebags (and the Venn with them and organized crime on it, well, has some overlap). They're a very different crew, and they prefer to operate in the shadows. Shouty religious zealotry results in unwanted attention, which is bad for business.
