---

After enduring weeks as Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's whipping boy during the federal election campaign, Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford is hoping they can hug it out.

Striking a conciliatory tone, Ford pledged to work with his political foe the day after an election that saw Trudeau uses the premier's record to batter Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer.

The Ford fixation helped re-elect dozens of Liberals in Ontario, where the party won 79 of Ontario's 121 seats and salvaged a minority Liberal government.
