Progressive Conservative premier of Canada’s most populous province retains office and vows to work with all sides of politics in ‘fighting back against Donald Trump’

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in claiming a third-straight victory for his Progressive Conservatives in the province's election Thursday he'd been given a "mandate" to "stand up" to President Trump's threats to hit Canada with tariffs.

Ontario's Progressive Conservative Party swept to victory and clinched a rare third consecutive majority, according to a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projection, following a campaign dominated by U.S. President Donald Trump.
