The 2022 Ontario general election was held on June 2, 2022 to elect the 124 members of the 43rd Parliament of Ontario. The Progressive Conservative (PC) Party of Ontario, led by Doug Ford, won a majority government with 83 of the 124 seats in the legislature. The incumbent party, they increased their seat share from 76 in the 2018 election. They campaigned on a slogan to “get it done,” pledging to build highways and transit infrastructure and open up the “Ring of Fire,” a mineral-rich area in northern Ontario. Instead of an election platform, the Ontario PC Party presented its promises on its website in the form of press releases throughout the campaign.

Promise History

In progress
27-Nov-2023
Justification

The commitment to funding was initially made during the Ford government’s first term. In addition to the investments outlined in the provincial budgets, in November 2023 the Province announced a new deal with the City of Toronto which included an additional annual operating funding of $330m over three years for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and Finch West LRT. This promise is considered in progress, and will last throughout their mandate as long as there remains continued investment in public transit infrastructure.

“As part of this new deal, Ontario has agreed to provide the city with up to $1.2 billion in provincial operating supports over three years and significant capital relief, including: Annual operating funding of $330 million over three years beginning in 2024–2025 for new subway-integrated provincial transit projects — the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and the Finch West LRT”
