Doug Ford is considering calling an early election in Ontario, potentially as soon as next week, to secure a new mandate amid concerns about economic challenges posed by U.S. tariffs. Despite currently holding a large majority, Ford emphasizes the necessity of a strong mandate to protect Ontario workers and jobs. Speculation regarding an early election has been ongoing since last year, and the Ontario government has recently announced $200 rebate cheques, which critics label as "pre-election bribes." Ford's staff remain prepared for a campaign as discussions unfold.
Ford's chief of staff, Patrick Sackville, emailed PC staffers telling them the government needs a 'strong mandate' to stand up for Ontario, adding 'The stronger the mandate the better.'
Vic Fedeli remarked, 'These are all very, very serious issues and our job is to protect Ontario's jobs, Ontario workers,' highlighting the administration's focus on economic issues.
