Ontario Premier Doug Ford captured an historic, third-straight majority government in a rare mid-winter election that revolved around crippling tariffs threatened by the U.S. president. Here is his victory speech, in full:
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Boy, what a crowd. Thank you so so much, and what a night, and what a result. Thank you so much. Together, we have made history. Together, we have secured a strong, historic, third majority mandate — a mandate to protect Ontario. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being here, for sharing this incredible moment with me. To the thousands of volunteers right across this province who braved the cold, who knocked on over 2 million doors: Tonight belongs to you. Thank you. I want to begin by thanking Carla and my daughters for your endless support. I couldn’t do this without you. I also want to thank — I also want to thank Marit Stiles, Bonnie Crombie, Mike Schreiner, and every single person who put their name on a ballot. We can we can disagree on policy, but there’s no question, no question at all: each one of them loves our province, and each one of them loves Canada, the greatest country on Earth.
