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.

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.

Ontario premier Doug Ford has triggered an early election in the province, saying he needs a strong mandate to take on the tariff threat.

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.

Doug Ford will launch his election campaign in Windsor today. And a political scientist at the University of Windsor says she expects him to make the border city a prominent backdrop for his campaign.

Ontario's legislature will be dissolved on Tuesday and the most populous Canadian province will vote on Feb. 27 to elect its next government, Premier Doug Ford's office said.

President Donald Trump has issued a “full and unconditional pardon” to Washington, DC, police lieutenant Andrew Zabavsky and officer Terence Sutton for their roles in the death of 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown, a case that drew protests on the heels of the murder of George Floyd.

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 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 other pressing issues: education and health care.

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.
