Premier Doug Ford is planning to call a provincial election next Wednesday, which would send Ontarians to the polls on Feb. 27, a senior Conservative source has confirmed to CBC News.
The planned election call would follow months of speculation that Ford wanted to face voters before the fixed 2026 date.
The planned call would come just after Ford’s Progressive Conservative candidates meet for a “super caucus” event to discuss strategy for the next provincial election — two government sources have confirmed to CBC News the meeting will be held this weekend.
