Hi from EU! Can someone please explain to an interested outsider what this means?

@ladicius @Sunshine Depicted is Doug Ford, current Premiere of Ontario, Canada's most populous province. He is a leader of a provincial conservative party which typically is politically aligned with the federal conservative party.

A bit of drama within the ranks conservative political sphere in Canada is brewing whereby critics of the leader of the federal conservatives (e.g. Ford) and his allies (e.g. Jivani) are sniping at each other through the press. Here, Jivani is calling Ford a turncoat.

Isn’t he related to the crack head mayor?

Rob Ford, the crack head mayor, was Doug's brother. He died in 2016.
