The Ontario provincial election has shifted due to President Trump's aggressive stance towards Canada, including potential tariffs and threats of annexation. These concerns have taken precedence over more localized issues like healthcare and housing. Premier Doug Ford has actively campaigned on the message that Canada will remain independent, insisting that it will never become the 51st U.S. state. With Ontario being a key economic player in Canada, the stakes are high, especially with polls showing Ford leading amid voter sentiment that he is best equipped to deal with Trump.
