Ontario Election: Ford ‘bans’ China from energy plans, Stiles and Crombie focus on healthcare

TORONTO – The outgoing premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, continues to focus on the theme of the economy and “defence from Ontario” and, commenting on yet another Trump announcement on new tariffs for steel and aluminium, he published a post on X complaining about the American President’s unpredictability: “This is the next four years. Shifting goalposts and constant chaos, putting our economy at risk” Ford wrote, adding the reason he called for an early provincial election: “I’m asking the people for a strong, stable, four-year mandate that outlasts the Trump administration to do whatever it takes, to always be ready to protect Ontario”… Continue reading→

Ontario Election, PC and Ford down in polls: voters don’t care about US tariffs, their problem is the cost of living

TORONTO – Conservatives still ahead in Ontario, but consensus continues to decline: it is the worst nightmare for Premier Doug Ford, who has decided to go to early elections to ask for a stronger mandate than the (already strong) one he has and who risks, instead, finding himself with a weaker majority than the current one.
