Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to “Yes” if Doug Ford ceases to be Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Doug Ford's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.
Market outcomes
| Doug Ford out as PC Party Leader by December 31? | 19% YES | 81% NO |
Doug Ford has led the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario since 2018 and currently serves as Premier. This market assesses the probability that he will cease to hold the party leadership position at any point before the end of 2026—whether through resignation, removal, or any other mechanism. The 19% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects traders' assessment that such a transition is unlikely within the specified timeframe, though not negligible.
Ford's tenure as PC leader has proven relatively durable despite periodic internal party tensions and policy controversies. Ontario's Progressive Conservative leadership changes have historically been infrequent; his predecessor Tim Hudak held the role for seven years before the 2014 election loss prompted his departure. The current probability sits substantially below what would be priced if markets viewed Ford's position as genuinely precarious, suggesting traders assess the party establishment as broadly consolidated behind his leadership despite occasional backbench dissent.
Traders monitoring this market should track Ford's electoral performance and any significant caucus rebellions, particularly around contentious policy areas including healthcare and education funding. The Ontario general election is scheduled for June 2026, meaning electoral outcomes in that window could materially shift leadership dynamics. Additionally, any formal leadership review mechanisms within the PC Party constitution or announcements regarding Ford's health or personal circumstances would constitute direct catalysts. Federal-provincial political shifts and changes to Ontario's economic conditions heading into 2026 may also influence internal party stability.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
The mechanics for trading "Doug Ford out as PC Party Leader by December 31?" are the same as any other PolyGram political event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$1K in lifetime turnover and $5K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for politics contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
The market has been open for around a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
As of today, traders on Polymarket price this outcome at 19%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.
