As Ontario's winter election campaign progresses, Premier Doug Ford's decision to call a snap election on February 27 has left the opposition scrambling. With polls indicating a strong lead for the Progressive Conservatives, leaders like Bonnie Crombie expressed concerns over the election's timing and necessity, seeing it as a strategic move by Ford amidst looming economic pressures and potential federal elections. Ford’s rationale centers on needing a reinforced mandate to tackle tariffs and challenges posed by the U.S., creating a political landscape where the opposition has limited time to respond.
We didn't know when the timing would be; it left little time for opposition parties to prepare their platforms effectively.
Ford's decision has caught his rivals at a disadvantage, making it difficult for them to mount an effective campaign.
