Today, Ontario Greens released their fully costed 2025 platform which is focused on restoring fairness to the people of Ontario after seven years of Doug Ford’s failures.
“Since Doug Ford took office seven years ago, life has only gotten harder,” said Deputy Leader and candidate for Kitchener Centre Aislinn Clancy.
“Housing costs are higher than ever, our healthcare system in shambles and our kids are learning in overcrowded classrooms. Meanwhile, the Ford government is doing more for big corporations and billionaires than for the everyday people who work hard every day.”
“Doug Ford has abandoned the people of this province, especially those of us outside the GTA,” said Deputy Leader and candidate for Parry Sound-Muskoka Matt Richter. “People are struggling to find a family doctor while the PCs are talking about digging a tunnel under the 401.”
“Ontario Greens’ platform fights for a fairer future for all of us,” said Party Leader Mike Schreiner. “Our plan builds affordable homes and ends renovictions, restores fairness to our healthcare and education systems, protects prime farmland and lowers your energy bills.
“We know that we can build a better Ontario together. But it means getting to work today—and that’s what Greens are committed to do.
Ontario Greens’ Plan for Fairness would:
- Build 2 million homes using a range of housing types including missing middle homes and midrises in large urban areas
- Remove fees for first-time homebuyers by waiving the Land Transfer Tax and removing Development Charges on homes under 2,000 sq ft built within urban boundaries
- Cut taxes for low- and middle-income earners under $65,000 and households making under $100,000, saving people up to $1700 per year
- Double ODSP and OW rates and remove aggressive and unfair clawbacks
- End taxpayer subsidies to fossil fuel companies
- Reduce energy bills by providing a free heat pump for households with incomes under $100,000 and zero-interest loans for households over $100,000
- Create an Ontario Foodbelt to permanently protect prime farmland
- Recruit 3,500 more doctors so that every person has a primary care provider within 3-4 years
- Increase provincial funding for rural hospitals and cut their local cost share for funding new hospitals in half
“All the things that a provincial government should do – build affordable homes, attract healthcare workers, support our neighbours struggling with their mental health, fund reliable public transit – Doug Ford has walked away from,” said Schreiner.
“It doesn’t have to be this way. Ontario Greens will fight for fairness so you can live in a province with a future you can believe in.”
