  • This headline is very misleading. Ford already has a majority government allowing him to do whatever he wants and plenty of time left in his term. This election is about getting ahead of the federal election. Traditionally Ontario likes to vote in premieres that belong to the party opposite of whomever is running the country federally. Right now the federal conservatives lead the polls and a we know a federal election is coming before the end of the year. Doug Ford knows he needs to have an election ahead of that or his chances of remaining in power are slim. Tariffs are just a convenient boogeyman he’s using to try and stay in power longer. He even made sure to send everyone a 200 bucks and timed it so people got it shortly before he announced this election.

    Before he started this “Canada is not for sale” bullshit, his slogan for our province was “Ontario, open for business”. Please don’t fall for it. Ford’s demolition of our health care has directly harmed several people close to me and his anti-worker bill 124 took thousands out of my pocket despite it being declared unconstitutional.
