Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford says he will spend $22 billion to build infrastructure as part of a stimulus package in the face of a possible trade war with the United States. The package will go forward regardless of U.S. President Donald Trump imposing 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.

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.

TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford officially set a provincial election in motion Tuesday for Feb. 27, more than a year before the next fixed election date. The election had been set for June 2026, but Ford said he needs a new mandate to deal with four years of a Donald Trump presidency in the United States.

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.

The package would go forward regardless of U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods, which he says will be imposed tomorrow.

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.
