Oosterhoff set to be Niagara’s lone government voice for another four years, Liberals get official party status

In last week’s provincial election, all four of Niagara Region’s MPPs were re-elected. That means Niagara Centre, Niagara Falls, and St. Catharines will once again be represented by MPPs on the opposition benches as members of the official Opposition NDP, while Niagara West’s Sam Oosterhoff will be the lone government MPP representing Niagara Region.

The odds that Oosterhoff will remain in Cabinet are virtually guaranteed. Oosterhoff has been very active as an MPP and as a minister since becoming the Associate Minister of Energy and Electrification in June 2024.

Ford wins third consecutive majority mandate

Local

Ontario residents have awarded Premier Doug Ford with a third consecutive majority government and four more years at Queen’s Park.

The Thursday, Feb. 27 election was not originally scheduled to take place until June 4, 2026. In late January, however, Premier Doug Ford asked Lieutenant Governor Edith Dumont to dissolve his majority government after determining that he required a new mandate to negotiate with U.S. President Donald Trump.
