Doug Ford wants to ask voters for permission to perhaps spend tens of billions of dollars in response to the Trump threat.

Ford won the last election on June 2, 2022 , and our next fixed election date is n’t until June 4, 2026 .

Opponents of Ford will point to the fact that Ontario has had a fixed election law since 2005 and say that by going early, Ford is breaking the law, acting illegally.
