Which provincial party is in power in ontario

If history is the key indication, it's Steven Del Duca and the Ontario Liberals who should be the least excited about last night's result. In the past 57 years, there has only been one occasion where an Ontario party formed government in the next election after a win by their federal political counterparts. The sole exception was , when Dalton McGuinty's Liberals won the provincial election that followed Jean Chretien's federal Liberal victory in Despite that long-running Ontario political paradox, provincial Liberals argue the federal results are a good sign for their party.

They say it shows the strength of the Liberal brand in the province and they say a team of plus Liberal MPs means on-the-ground organizational support for the provincial campaign in many target ridings.

The New Democrats and Progressive Conservatives see that as wishful thinking on the part of the Liberals. For Ford's incumbent PCs, the result is another piece of evidence along with last month's Nova Scotia election that voters are not simply going to hand whatever government happens to be in power a majority just because of the pandemic. One could also see the results in the ring of seats around Toronto, referred to as the , where Ontario elections are won and lost, as bad news for the PCs.

The Liberals took nearly 47 per cent of the popular vote in those ridings and O'Toole's party failed to gain ground there even though he represents the riding of Durham.

The strategist argues that Ford's recent COVID policies — bringing in a proof-of-vaccination program, requiring all his candidates to get vaccinated, and booting the one MPP who refused — have greater appeal to those voters. As for Andrea Horwath and her Ontario NDP, seeing their federal counterparts win just five seats in the province has to be demoralizing. Despite that, a senior provincial New Democrat insists Ontario voters view the federal and provincial parties differently and ventures that Horwath is well positioned to take a run at Ford next June.

The NDP is going into the race with more incumbents to build on, a stronger pool of candidates, and the accomplishment of having persuaded nearly 2 million Ontarians to vote for them last time, the official says. The senior New Democrat also claims the PCs are "hoping that the pandemic will be far enough in the rearview mirror that people will forget about how badly Ford screwed things up. The provincial NDP will be engaged in a pitched battle with the Liberals to convince anti-Ford voters that their leader has the skills to steer Ontario through the post-pandemic future, trying to pitch themselves as the competent and responsible alternative.

Ford all but disappeared from public view for the past eight weeks. He has held just one news conference since the end of July. Although the opposition parties pounced on that and the prorogation of the Legislature until Oct.
