Early elections due to Trump’s policies
In Canada, anti -India spirit is on the rise. Then the Indian-Canadians have won the election. Ontario won five Indo-Canadian candidates in the assembly elections, including many prominent ministers. This election was important for the Progressive Conservative Party, who has gained power for the third time in a row. The tenure of the Ontario Legislative Assembly was until 2026, but Premier Dug Ford called a surprise election. He sought a strong mandate, referring to the threat of US President Donald Trump’s tariff. However, reports suggest that Ford was already planning to hold early elections to gain political gain. In this election, the opposition targeted Ford and said that he violated the election etiquette by making two official visits to Washington during the campaign. But despite these criticisms, his party won about 80 seats and won a majority. However, the figure was slightly lower than the 83 seats in 2022.
