Ford becomes first Ontario premier since the 1950s to win 3 successive majorities

 Doug Ford and his Progressive Conservatives won a third consecutive majority in the 2025 Ontario election, securing 80 of 124 seats. Ford's campaign capitalized on a focus on protecting Ontario, emphasizing his leadership amid Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on Canadian exports. The election was called early, partly to avoid potential fallout from the Greenbelt controversy and to preempt a federal election. Ford's advisers timed the election strategically, with Ford benefiting from Justin Trudeau's resignation and the federal Liberal leadership race.
