Ford holds news conference as election speculation continues to swirl

On Tuesday morning, Ontario Premier Doug Ford will be holding a press conference in Toronto to address the ongoing speculation about a potential election. This comes just one day after Ford hinted that he may be open to letting the people decide on whether his government should spend billions of dollars to counter potential American tariffs.

Ford has been evading the question of whether he will call an election this year, despite mounting pressure and rumors circulating about a possible snap election. The fixed date for the next Ontario election is not until June 2026, so any decision to call an election sooner would be a bold move on Ford’s part.

CBC Toronto will be livestreaming the news conference, providing real-time updates as Ford addresses the media. This will be a crucial event for those closely following the election speculation and wanting to stay informed on Ford’s decisions.
