Trillium Talk kicks off its campaign edition with a special focus on the first day of the Ontario election. Join Scott Sexsmith as he discusses the latest news with Editor-in-Chief Jessica Smith Cross, who reports live from Doug Ford's campaign launch at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor. Ford emphasizes the impact of looming U.S. tariffs on the election, while NDP leader Marit Stiles begins her campaign in Toronto and Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie is in Barrie. Stay tuned for continuous coverage of the campaign trail with all three major parties as The Trillium team follows the action leading up to election day on February 27th.
Welcome to a special campaign edition of Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature. Although this segment usually runs on Sunday mornings, we're ramping things up now that Doug Ford has officially triggered a provincial election. Every weekday during the campaign, Village Media's Scott Sexsmith will sit down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the latest election news.
On the show today is Editor-in-Chief Jessica Smith Cross, who joins us on location from the launch of Doug Ford’s campaign — at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor. The PC leader used the backdrop to hammer home the point that U.S. President Donald Trump’s looming tariffs are the key issue in this provincial election. (Ford, by the way, has still been unable to land a face-to-face with the new president.) NDP leader Marit Stiles is in Toronto on day one of the campaign, while Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie is in Barrie. Our team at The Trillium will remain on the campaign trail with all three major party leaders right up until election day on Feb. 27. Looking for previous episodes of Trillium Talk?
