In May, National Observer invited the leaders of all four major provincial political parties to share their thoughts on the Ontario election by submitting opinion pieces. The day before the election, Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford and Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner discuss their visions for change.

Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford says he's heard about real struggles across Canada's largest province. As Ontarians ready to cast ballots on June 7, Ford makes the case for voting for him in an opinion piece for National Observer.

On the eve of Ontario's provincial election, Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner writes about the southern Ontario community that could make history on June 7.

Support among seniors for the Progressive Conservative party has slipped during the campaign for the June 7 Ontario election, says CARP, an advocacy group for older citizens. Their support for the NDP has doubled. Health care is their No. 1 issue and 95 per cent in a poll plan to vote.

PC party leader Doug Ford’s Twitter messages are often amplified from a small army of hyper-partisan, largely anonymous accounts that publish with inhuman frequency. They make his @fordnation pronouncements appear more popular than they are, say some observers.

The day after his late brother’s widow sued him for $16.5 million in damages for mishandling her family’s estate, Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford said the claims against him will be disproved in court.

The Ontario NDP candidate for Ottawa South said she's found that health care, education and community safety are the main issues — by a long shot — that people raise when she goes door-knocking in the riding.

Days after conceding her loss in Thursday's provincial election, Premier Kathleen Wynne continued Monday to implore Ontarians to avoid a majority government which would sustain the “longest strike in Canadian university history.”

​Ontarians are set to cast their ballots in the province’s election in just a few days—and voters, especially conservatives, need to ask themselves what they expect from a leader.

Throwing in the towel as Kathleen Wynne has in a request to hold the balance of power is cynical to say the very least. But it may be the best thing that’s happened to Horwath this whole campaign.

“We have a strong environmental message,” Doug Ford told reporters at a tightly-scripted news conference in Ottawa. “People want clean lakes, they want clean rivers, they want clean air and we’re going to make sure that we deliver that.”

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne on Saturday conceded she would lose her job running the province in the June 7 election but urged voters to back Liberal Party candidates to ensure neither the Progressive Conservative’s Doug Ford nor NDP’s Andrea Horwath win a majority.

Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford’s campaign trail promise to withdraw Ontario from the cap and trade market it shares with Quebec and California would likely cost the province between $2 billion and $4 billion, a leading environmental lawyer warns.

If Ontario PC leader Doug Ford wins the election and sues the federal government to prevent carbon pricing, he would likely lose, say constitutional and environmental law experts.

“They have cajoled Trump, they have soothed his ego, they’ve played to his apparently inexhaustible vanity," Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said about U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday.
