Ontario Progressive Conservative party leader Doug Ford will launch his re-election campaign in Windsor on Wednesday, the party announced Tuesday afternoon.

Following morning remarks and media availability he will hold a roundtable with Unifor Local 444 and visit workers at Harbour Technologies, a local manufacturer.

Ford has dubbed his campaign the "Campaign to Protect Ontario."

He has repeatedly said he believes he needs a new mandate from Ontarians to respond to the economic threat posed by U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods.
