In this edition of On the Ledge - your Ontario Politics Podcast.
Premier Doug Ford used the occassion of a public transit announcement in Brampton to let us know he will indeed be paying a visit to the Lt. Governor to dissolve the legislature and send the province to the polls on Thursday, February 27th.
Ford insists he needs the mandate in order to spend tens of billions of dollars to fight the Donald Trump tariff threats.
Dave Trafford, Kathleen Wynne, Keith Leslie and Tim Hudak debate that strategy, question the Opposition posture and discuss the timing of the election call against the backdrop of the federal leadership vacuum in Ottawa.
