Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Lt.-Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell has accepted his advice to dissolve provincial parliament, and the election campaign will officially start on May 4.
The Lieutenant Governor also called for writs for the election to be issued on May 4 and formally marked June 2 as the election date.
Politicians have been unofficially campaigning for weeks, with two of the three major parties having released their platforms.
On his way in to meet with Dowdeswell, Ford said people will have “a very clear choice” on June 2.
He says the Tories are “creating prosperity” by building bridges, roads and highways, and bringing thousands of auto sector jobs back.
