Ford's Ontario PC government vowed that MPPs wouldn’t get a pay raise until Ontario's budget was balanced. After six years of deficits, the PCs reneged on that promise and gave themselves a 35% pay raise.

Last week, the Ford PCs passed Bill 9, the so-called "Municipal Accountability Act," on Second Reading. It is now at Standing Committee. This legislation mirrors a Liberal bill from 2021 and poses a significant threat to local democracy and free speech. Here is a rundown of Bill 9.

Last week, we emailed you on Victoria Day to call out the Ford PCs’ ongoing appeasement of the "woke" mob by keeping the statue of Canada’s first prime minister hidden in a plywood box at Queen’s Park. The Ontario PC government ordered that the statue of Sir John A. Macdonald be boarded up in 2020.

The Ontario PCs have released their budget — and as expected, it’s virtually indistinguishable from something the former Liberal government would have tabled. When asked why the PCs reneged on their promise to return Ontario to balance, Doug Ford summed up his government's reckless fiscal approach in one sentence: “We can balance the budget another year.”
