Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford said Thursday he will honour Ontario's commitment to the burgeoning electric vehicle sector if re-elected, while his main political rivals were less definitive.

As the second day of Ontario's snap election campaign got underway, party leaders struck out into fresh territory looking to woo voters in areas they didn't win last time around.

Doug Ford, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, has called an early election. He leads the party for a third consecutive campaign.

Ontario PC leader Doug Ford launched his re-election campaign in Windsor on Wednesday. He says he needs a strong mandate to respond to threats of tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump. But protesters outside Ford's campaign launch reminded him of another pressing issues: education and health care.

PC Leader Doug Ford is positioning affordable energy as a cornerstone of his mission of making Ontario an energy superpower. There's just one problem. The chosen approach doesn't make much sense, experts say.

The Progressive Conservative leader said Ontario would maintain its share of funding for EV battery production subsidies even if U.S. President Donald Trump tears up the Inflation Reduction Act.

While Premier Doug Ford insists that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threat is why he's calling an election 15 months ahead of schedule, there are plenty of reasons why the timing is politically advantageous to Ford and his Ontario PC Party.

It’s day two on the provincial campaign trail, and the four Ontario party leaders are setting the stage for a heated race.

Today the 2025 Ontario election campaign launched, where all of the province's major parties began their pitches to form the next government.

The leader of Ontario, Canada's most populous province, has kicked off his provincial election campaign, saying he needs a strong mandate to fight the tariffs threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles launched her campaign in Toronto, pitching herself as the best person to fight back against Mr. Trump, while Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie appeared in Barrie, an hour north of Toronto, and focused on improving health care. Both have dismissed the early election as needless.

The writ has dropped, and Ontario has officially entered its 44th election cycle. Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles, Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford, Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner and Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie are all hitting the campaign trail Wednesday.
