Ontario will hold an early election, with Premier Doug Ford set to meet Lieutenant Governor Edith Dumont on Tuesday to request the dissolution of the legislature. The election is expected to take place on February 27.

Speaking in Brampton, Ford said the province is going to the polls early to secure a strong mandate from the people to fight Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Ford pledged that with a strong mandate, his government would invest billions to protect Ontario’s economy. He compared the current situation to the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and emphasized his commitment to safeguarding the livelihoods of residents against the impact of Trump’s tariffs.

The Premier added that strong leadership is needed at both the national and provincial levels and assured that his government is committed to providing it.
