Ontario voters head to the polls for election day after snap winter campaign

Ontario voters faced difficult weather conditions during an unusual winter election campaign, the first since 1981, with candidates battling snowstorms and frigid temperatures.
Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford campaigned on tariffs and the economy, while Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie promised to connect every Ontarian to a family doctor and NDP Leader Marit Stiles focused on health care and affordability.
NDP Leader Marit Stiles aimed to flip Progressive Conservative seats, while Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie campaigned in Mississauga, hoping to win back ridings.
The Progressive Conservatives won 83 out of 124 seats in the 2022 election, with a goal for Ford's government to secure a new mandate despite the election being viewed as unnecessary by the other party leaders.
