Ontario 2022: Ford More Years for Doug - a podcast by Sam Rippon and Chern Han Mah

This week's episode primarily dives into the election results in Canada’s most populous province Ontario, as Doug Ford has led his Progressive Conservative Party to a second consecutive majority in Queens Park. It also features a dissection of the first round of Colombia’s presidential election. As Gustavo Petro and Rudolfo Hernandez prepare to face each other in the second round, who is better positioned to win the support of eliminated candidates? Will Petro become Colombia’s first left-wing President, or will Hernandez become one of its oldest?

In Ontario, the Progressive Conservatives improved on their 2018 result and ensure that Doug Ford will remain Premier for the foreseeable future. Sam and Chern analyse the results and discuss the fate of the NDP and Liberals who are both seeking new leaders as they begin a soul search. What were the key ingredients to Doug Ford’s big victory? Have the NDP reached their natural ceiling of support in Canada’s most populous province? What can the Liberals do to make a comeback and restore party status? And what are the federal implications for Trudeau’s Liberal Government and the federal Conservatives as their leadership election continues? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
