Context: Descriptively speaking, Ontario has 'balanced out' the Libs and Cons by having one elected provincially and the other elected federally for decades at this point. For that reason, it is presumed that Ford would like to call an election while Trudeau is in Ottawa rather than before the Libs hand Ottawa to PP. Bright days ahead for Ontario when we have Cons on both levels /s

The current poll numbers look terrible for both OLP and NDP. Doug on the other hand is polling as well as he did in the last election.
