COMMENTARY: How could calling a snap election hinder or help Doug Ford’s re-election bid? | Globalnews.ca

Summary

Nutrition label

65% Informative

Doug Ford has 16 months left on his term as premier, and 64 percent of the seats in Ontario ’s legislature.

There are several benefits for the Progressive Conservatives to call an election now, including the fact that most polls show them well ahead of the opposition.

Ford has tried to frame the election around whether he is the man to lead Ontario — and Canada — in the battle against Donald Trump and the threat of tariffs.

Doug Ford remains favourite to get re-elected by many but the road to retaining power was not made easier by the decision by Trudeau to step aside.

The Liberals could experience a resurgence federally with a new leader.

It also may have been a tougher campaign for Ford if Trump were not around as his record would be more of a discussion than it is.
