Doug Ford confirms early Ontario election will be called next Wednesday

  • Ontario Premier Doug Ford plans to call a snap election on Wednesday, February 27, more than a year before the scheduled June 2026 election date.
  • Ford justifies the early election by citing the threat of 25 percent tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, which could lead to the loss of 500,000 jobs in Ontario.
  • Opposition parties argue that an early election is unnecessary and that they would support stimulus spending to protect Ontario's interests.
  • Ford aims to secure the largest mandate in Ontario's history to strengthen his position against Trump's tariffs, as stated during a press conference.
