Why Eby’s early election backfired — and why Doug Ford’s did not

Ontario Conservatives won a third majority as British Columbia voters rejected David Eby’s early election call, which polls showed many saw as premature.

Summary by iPolitics
Ford faced a well-organized but divided opposition. There was no clear focal point for the anti-Conservative vote, with two well-established parties, the Liberals and New Democrats, at roughly even strength. Eby’s situation was the reverse.
