Doug Ford insists Ontario is not vulnerable during a snap election campaign he called as a possible trade war with the United States looms.

Ford warned Saturday of difficult times ahead should U.S. President Donald Trump make good on his vow to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.

The snap election is set for Feb. 27 and could cost taxpayers as much as $189 million .

Opposition leaders have accused Ford of calling the early election ahead of the June 2026 fixed date.
