Unifor Local 200 president John D’Agnolo : Doug Ford has supported us when it comes to investment for auto.

The Tories projected a distinct pro-worker image leading up to the last election cycle.

Ford called a snap election last week , stating he needs a new mandate to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump ’s threatened 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian products.

Doug Ford and the Tories rode to a second majority in 2022 as the “Working for Workers” party .

But that year he also drew the ire of many unions, including some who had endorsed him, with his government’s Keeping Students in Class Act.

D'Agnolo said he believes the Tories have “realized how important auto is to Ontario ” But when it comes to defending against U.S. tariffs, he said he’ll talk to anyone willing to listen.
