As political turmoil in Ottawa threatens the Canadian government and a potential early election, the Ontario NDP is postponing its annual convention to focus on a provincial campaign. The decision comes amid speculation of a snap election in Ontario, with Premier Doug Ford yet to confirm his intentions.
As political chaos on Parliament Hill threatens to sink the minority Liberal government and trigger an early election, Ontario’s official opposition is putting off its annual convention to focus on a provincial election campaign its strategists believe is near.
With the prospect of an early federal election on the horizon, however, the party decided to forgo the conference to prepare for an election campaign. Behind the scenes, the party is moving resources that would have gone into the convention to focus on a potential early election campaign. The switch comes as Premier Doug Ford continues to mull an early election — speculation that has been in the air since May and a theory that Ford has not explicitly denied, despite being repeatedly asked.Other parties are also making moves to prepare for an election earlier than usual.
