Doug Ford, Ontario’s Conservative leader, has recently said that President Trump was “going to try to devastate our country” with a plan to impose tariffs on Canadian exports.

The leader of Canada’s most populous province says he will be calling an election in Ontario because he says he needs a mandate to fight U.S.

Premier Doug Ford says Ontario residents will be heading to the polls next month. Speaking in Brampton today (Jan. 24), the premier confirmed the rumours saying that Feb. 27 will be the date of the election.
