Mr. Ford won a majority of the Ontario Legislature’s seats for the second time in June, 2022, just 2½ years ago. The next election date under provincial legislation is currently fixed for June, 2026.

...

Ms. Stiles, citing the Premier’s own recent warning that Mr. Trump’s tariffs could cost Ontario half a million jobs, said Mr. Ford was putting party before province.

“He can either be the Premier or run for Premier,” the NDP Leader said in a statement. “He needs to decide what’s more important: his job or 500,000 jobs.”

With his stance against trump, he has people at the office saying things like, "I don't like Ford but I'm happy he's standing up to Trump" and I think Doug knows that's the best popularity boost he's going to get in the foreseeable future.
