This article discusses the recent political activities of Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his campaign manager, Kory Teneycke. Ford is actively engaging in diplomatic efforts, including discussions about tariffs with US governors and media appearances teasing upcoming interprovincial trade legislation. Meanwhile, Teneycke is openly criticizing the federal government's political strategies.
A key element of the article centers on speculation surrounding the upcoming Ontario budget. The article suggests that the budget could be tabled in mid-May, based on the anticipated timing of Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy's upcoming speech to the Empire Club of Canada, an event that often precedes budget announcements.
DOUG FORD’s charm offensive is back on as he talks tariffs with U.S. Governors and media, while teasing interprovincial trade legislation next week. His campaign manager KORY TENEYCKE, meanwhile, is ripping into their federal cousins’ campaign (again). Before all that: who’s up for a little speculation about the budget?
Wild Budget Day guess: With the 44th Parliament set to kick-off Monday, one highlight of the session will be the spring budget.

Sometimes, ministers will reveal the budget date in those speeches. While the speech date isn’t official yet, rumour has it it could take place sometime around May 12. So, my pet theory: the budget could be tabled sometime in mid-May. Over to you, Minister.
