Ontario Premier Doug Ford has announced that he has asked the Lieutenant Governor to dissolve the provincial legislature, officially triggering an election set for February 27, 2025. The decision comes as Ontario faces potential economic challenges stemming from a proposed 25% tariff on all Canadian imports by U.S. President Donald Trump.


Ford stated that the election is necessary to seek a renewed mandate to implement an economic stimulus plan designed to address the potential impacts of the tariffs on Ontario’s economy. While details of the proposed plan have not been disclosed, the Progressive Conservative Party is expected to outline its strategy during the 28-day campaign period. Ford emphasized the importance of strong provincial leadership to mitigate the risks posed by the proposed tariffs.


Opposition parties have expressed concerns over the timing of the election, suggesting it diverts attention from ongoing issues, including a criminal investigation into a controversial government land swap deal. Critics argue that the election call could serve as a distraction from these matters.


Despite the criticism, polling data indicates that Ford’s Progressive Conservatives hold a lead heading into the election. As the campaign unfolds, Ontarians will hear various economic strategies from all parties, including plans to address the tariff threat and other provincial issues.


This election offers voters the opportunity to determine the direction of the province during a time of economic and political uncertainty.
