Mr. Ford won a majority of the Ontario Legislature’s seats for the second time in June, 2022, just 2½ years ago. The next election date under provincial legislation is currently fixed for June, 2026.

Ms. Stiles, citing the Premier’s own recent warning that Mr. Trump’s tariffs could cost Ontario half a million jobs, said Mr. Ford was putting party before province.

“He can either be the Premier or run for Premier,” the NDP Leader said in a statement. “He needs to decide what’s more important: his job or 500,000 jobs.”

    I’m counting on him calling an election being badly perceived. He’s not in the position Trudeau is. LPC is already at the bottom. The only way is up.

      There’s really no good way for it to be perceived. He’s about halfway through the term, so it seems like a pretty bald faced grab to lengthen his tenure.

      But I thought he was going to get slammed last time. We’ll see.

      In the middle of a cold winter. I’m voting anyone but him.

        Same. We gotta find per-riding data close to the election date. I’m in the 905 so the OLP is likely to be stronger contender in my riding but I’d like to know if that’s changed to ONDP.
