WATCH: The Ontario Liberals and Ontario NDP have spent the summer preparing for a possible early election . Global News' Queen's Park Bureau Chief Colin D'Mello reports – Aug 6, 2024Ontario’s major political parties have been spending the summer nominating candidates, running “campaign schools,” and canvassing after remarks from the premier this spring fuelled speculation he will call an early election .
“Pulling all of those people back together again is kind of like a huge volunteer-slash-HR effort as well,” Tomney said. Laryssa Waler, a former director of communications for Ford and founder of Walman Strategies, said a spring 2025 election seems more likely than the fall.“You saw how the last election got called, there was essentially a referendum on the budget that they presented and they won more seats,” she said in an interview. “So I wouldn’t be surprised if they did something similar, because it worked so well last time.
The NDP are also running campaign schools this summer to help teach people in local riding associations how to run campaigns, so the party is ready on the ground locally, not just centrally, Stiles said.
