Speculation about Premier Doug Ford calling an early election started last May , when Ford wasn't even two full years into his second mandate.

A faction within Ford ’s circle of advisors wanted him to head to the polls in the spring of 2024 .

The thinking was to hold an election ahead of a federal vote in October 2025 to get Ford out in front of the changes that will come at the federal level.

Now, the federal scene is shifting by the day and the Trudeau government could fall as soon as the end of January , making a provincial vote complicated.
