This totally unnecessary election call is more than 17 months early and is predicted to cost over $150 million. It will also be a significant distraction from fighting the challenges being posed by new US President Donald Trump as Doug Ford seeks to time an election to maximize his chances of winning. Calling early elections for personal gain has backfired in the past when Premier David Peterson called an early election only to lose in a surprise win by Bob Rae and perhaps it will happen again this time:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The Toronto Star - Doug Ford Tells His Ministers To Fast-Track Any Announcements With A Feb 27th Election Call Just Days Away:</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/doug-ford-tells-his-ministers-to-fast-track-any-announcements-with-feb-27-election-call/article_e8850592-d993-11ef-840a-3fe5abfa3c26.html">https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/doug-ford-tells-his-ministers-to-fast-track-any-announcements-with-feb-27-election-call/article_e8850592-d993-11ef-840a-3fe5abfa3c26.html</a></div><div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Press Progress - Doug Ford’s Pollster Has Been Quietly Polling Ontarians About Calling A Self-Serving Election Over The Last Year:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></span><a href="https://pressprogress.ca/doug-fords-pollster-has-been-quietly-polling-ontarians-about-calling-a-self-serving-early-election-over-the-last-year/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://pressprogress.ca/doug-fords-pollster-has-been-quietly-polling-ontarians-about-calling-a-self-serving-early-election-over-the-last-year/</span></a></div><div><span id="docs-internal-guid-a3af1230-7fff-fd5a-bdad-56df369bf430"><br></span></div><div><span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>CBC - Doug Ford Planning To Call Ontario Election Next Wednesday:</span></div><div><span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></span><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-super-caucus-1.7439752">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-super-caucus-1.7439752</a></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>CityNews - Premier Doug Ford To Call Provincial Election On Wednesday:</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="https://kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/01/23/premier-doug-ford-to-call-provincial-election-on-wednesday-sources/?">https://kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/01/23/premier-doug-ford-to-call-provincial-election-on-wednesday-sources/?</a></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span id="docs-internal-guid-a3af1230-7fff-fd5a-bdad-56df369bf430"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Vote Like Your Quality Of Life Depends On It - </b></span><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) has launched a public awareness campaign in advance of provincial election </span><span style="color: rgb(30, 30, 29); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">calling for clear commitments from all provincial parties to enhance quality of life in our communities. </span><span style="color: rgb(30, 30, 29); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">It focuses on three areas where provincial partnership can improve quality of life and community well-being - curbing reliance on muni</span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); color: rgb(30, 30, 29);">cipal property taxes to fund provincial responsibilities, </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); color: rgb(30, 30, 29);">investing in local infrastructure to build housing, and </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); color: rgb(30, 30, 29);">tackling homelessness.
