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

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

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

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.

Here’s where the leaders of Ontario’s main political parties are on Thursday, Jan. 30: Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford London: Ford will make an announcement at 9:30 a.m. He will then visit workers at Labatt Brewery in the city.

Doug Ford says he will remain on duty as premier, flying to meet with American officials in the face of Donald Trump's tariff threat even as he wages a re-election campaign — something opposition politicians say is an inappropriate use of his office and defies democratic norms.

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.

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.

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.
