One day after Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he may have to “let the people decide” if his government should spend billions of dollars to weather the punch of potential American tariffs, he will be speaking with reporters again in Toronto on Tuesday morning.
Ford has for weeks avoided giving a yes/no answer on whether he’ll call an election this year – potentially before a federal election that’s expected sooner than later. The fixed date for the next Ontario election is in June 2026, so this would be Ford’s move.
CBC Toronto will be livestreaming the news conference and updating this story as it happens, so check back when you can.
