There is no way that the province wants to get involved in removing a sitting mayor. That is especially true for a Toronto conservative mayor -- Toronto is a Liberal stronghold, so removing Ford would not get them any more ridings in the city, but would likely anger conservatives in other ridings.
Presented with a large enough petition they would be forced to allow a recall election of one type or another. It might take a 200,000 signatures though.
