Premier Doug Ford claimed Monday he has a stronger mandate after last week's election despite winning fewer seats than in 2022.
Ford's Progressive Conservatives took 80 seats in the election, down from 83 three years ago but more than the 76 seats they won in 2018.
Ford's PCs won 42.97 per cent of the vote last Thursday with more than 2.1 million votes, up from a 40.8 per cent share in 2022 and a 40.5 per cent share in 2018.
