Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative Party has secured a third consecutive majority in Ontario, winning at least 74 seats in a vote influenced heavily by trade tensions with the U.S. Ford called the snap election early to seek a stronger mandate to address potential economic challenges posed by President Trump's tariffs. Throughout the campaign, he positioned himself as a defender of Canadian interests, even traveling to Washington to lobby against these trade issues. Critics, however, questioned the timing of the election, highlighting the federal government's role in trade negotiations.
"We're going to make sure we protect the people of Ontario and protect their families, and their jobs and businesses, Ford told CTV News after his win."
"I want to make sure I have a strong mandate to outlast President Trump. This is gonna be a battle for the next four years," Ford said last month.
