An Overview of Party Promises in the 2025 Ontario Election
Ontario’s political parties have been on the campaign trail for more than two weeks with their leaders travelling across the province to strengthen their party’s support.
With the Feb. 27 election fast approaching, here’s a look at some of the key campaign commitments made by each of Ontario’s principal political parties.
Progressive Conservatives
Progressive Conservative (PC) Leader Doug Ford is running on a “Protect Ontario” campaign that focuses on responding to and dealing with U.S. tariffs. Other top priorities identified by Ford are job creation, constructing homes and highways, and shoring up health care in the province.
The main points of the PC campaign are:
US Tariff Response
Ford has repeatedly talked about the threat of tariffs at the hands of U.S. President Donald Trump and the need to protect Ontario’s interests at a time when leadership is lacking in Ottawa.
While Ford has described the 30-day pause on tariffs as a welcome reprieve, he has also expressed skepticism that the country won’t face U.S. tariffs on its products in the near future, a move that he said could lead to the elimination of as many as 500,000 jobs in Ontario.

NDP
NDP Leader Marit Stiles has emphasized improving health care, addressing U.S. tariffs, and implementing various measures to make housing more affordable throughout her campaign appearances.
Health Care
Stiles recently introduced her party’s $4 billion Family Health Guarantee, a program designed to ensure that every resident of Ontario has access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
…
Liberals
Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie’s campaign has centred around health care and the family doctor shortage as well as transit safety.
Health Care
Crombie has focused on health care throughout her election campaign, promising to connect every Ontarian with a family doctor over the next four years.
…
Green Party
Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner is pledging to cut tax for lower and middle income households in Ontario.
Taxes
A Green government would cut income taxes for individuals earning less than $65,000 and families bringing in less than $100,000 per year, saving a middle income worker as much as $1,700 a year, Schreiner has said.
