Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls for early election on Feb. 27 to secure mandate amid U.S. tariff fears.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford will trigger an early provincial election on February 27, despite having a majority and 16 months left in his mandate. The move, announced ahead of a meeting with the lieutenant governor, aims to secure a new mandate to address challenges, particularly those posed by US President Donald Trump’s potential tariffs. In the Bay of Quinte riding, incumbent MPP Tyler Allsopp will face Lori Borthwick of the Green Party and Amanda Robertson of the NDP.
