Ford pointed to the critical minerals mined in the Ring of Fire region as Ontario's 'ace in the hole' in the face of possible tariffs from the U.S.
Residents in Canada ’s most populous province elect their new premier next week. Progressive Conservative Leader and current premier, Doug Ford , is seeking a third term but is being criticized for calling the vote months before he needed to. Seán O'Shea reports on why Ford felt he needed to call the vote now.
Ford has said that a re-elected Progressive Conservative government would push Ottawa to remove “unnecessary federal barriers and red tape” from major projects under provincial jurisdiction in order to “unlock the enormous economic potential” of the Ring of Fire.He also promised Saturday to pour money into two programs aimed at boosting First Nations’ participation in projects in several sectors, including mining.
His government has made mining the Ring of Fire a key priority in an effort to build an end-to-end electric vehicle manufacturing chain in Ontario.
