QUEEN’S PARK—Ontario’s Liberals are slamming Doug Ford for, once again, failing to do his job and address the issues that really matter to Ontario families in today’s Fall Economic Statement.
Instead of making real investments to keep emergency rooms open, helping 2.5 million people find a family doctor, addressing the urgent need for long-term financial relief, or making housing more affordable, Doug Ford introduced yet another failed Fall Economic Statement that puts his rich friends first, and you and your family last.
“Doug Ford is more focused on billion-dollar giveaways to wealthy insiders than he is on fixing health care. People are dying on waitlists and Doug Ford is spending billions on booze, foreign spas and the Greenbelt scandal.
“Doug Ford and his Conservatives are not in it for the people of Ontario. It’s time for your money to work for you. Not Doug’s rich friends.”
— Bonnie Crombie, Leader of Ontario’s Liberals
“It’s not a pretty picture in Doug Ford’s Ontario: 2.5 million people don’t have access to a family doctor while his friends who own nursing agencies are given billions of your tax dollars.
“And while Doug Ford spends millions more on TV ads to pat his government on the back, more and more people are finding themselves out of work under his watch. Rent is up by 83%, foodbank use is at an all-time high, we owe more money per capita than ever before, and the Conservatives still have not made good on their promise to implement a middle-income tax cut.”
— Stephanie Bowman, Ontario Liberal Finance Critic
Bonnie Crombie and Ontario’s Liberals will deliver more for you. The health care you deserve, the education your kids need, and the affordable life you work hard for.
