Premier Doug Ford, fresh off a third consecutive election win, appears set to remain on the sidelines of the federal government race. While he gained political leverage as an opponent of U.S. tariffs, he has publicly stated he aims to avoid involvement, consistent with prior elections. Although he acknowledges his relationships with some federal Liberal ministers, he refrained from expressing preferences between Conservative Leader Poilievre or Liberal Leader Carney. Experts believe the ongoing trade war and its political implications might challenge Ford's intention to maintain distance from federal politics.
Ford's strategic decision to stay out of the upcoming federal election reflects his established pattern from previous election cycles, though the context may force his involvement.
Despite his past reluctance to engage in federal campaigns, experts suggest the current tariff situation might compel Premier Ford to take a more active role this time.
