Ontario election campaigns launch as Ford vows to fight tariffs and opposition parties aim at health care

Doug Ford launched his early election campaign at the Canada-U.S. border on Wednesday pledging to fight for Ontario in the face of potential tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump. But the Progressive Conservative Leader still offered no firm details about his promised plan to respond to threat, as the opposition parties accused him of mismanaging the province and worsening the crisis in health care.Standing at the foot of the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Mr. Ford portrayed himself as fighter who can take on Mr. Trump, asking Ontarians to give his PC Party a third majority in a snap vote being held 15 months before what would have been the next election in June, 2026.
