STANDING UP AGAINST MISPLACED PRIORITIES FOR A BETTER ONTARIO
BONNIE CROMBIE + JOHN CAMPBELL
After six years, Doug Ford and the Conservatives have made it abundantly clear they are not in it for the real people of Ontario.
Bonnie for Ontario
As Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, Bonnie Crombie will help rebuild our party, continue to fight for the things Ontarians count on, and ensure Ontario Liberals do everything we can to hold the Ford government to account.
IN ONTARIO, THINGS ARE NOT OK!
From healthcare to community safety and underfunded courts, to badly funded primary, secondary and post-secondary schools, the Ford government has stumbled along with misplaced priorities. Concerns about paper bags at the LCBO a plan to tunnel under the 401 show the lack of serious focus.
- Ontario school boards have been under-funded by $1.93 Billion or 8% in the last 5 years
- Fewer classroom teachers, special education teachers and student supports
- The College and University sector is a total mess
- Bloated foreign student enrollment, a tuition freeze and $1 b of underfunding created this crisis and contributed to the housing crisis
- The number Ontario colleges has nearly DOUBLED to 539 since Doug Ford took office and student housing demand skyrocketed
Ontario Liberals support hiring more teachers and specialists for special education and ensuring colleges and universities deliver high quality education.
- The province is short 3,000 nurses
- 1 in 7 don’t have a family doctor
- In 2026 if could be, 26%
- Emergency rooms are closing
- 45,000 elderly people are waiting for long-term care. One resident told me he waited 7 months for an MRI at Princess Margaret and 9 months at Trillium.
Ontario has only six medical schools and turns away thousands of qualified applicants each year. More capacity and spaces to train doctors, nurses and diagnostics personnel is needed.
- Let’s see what the RCMP says about the Greenbelt fiasco!
- The Greenbelt Scandal Isn’t Over—Let’s See What the RCMP Uncovers!
Have you ever wondered why housing developers would buy farmland?? To plant carrots? Let’s see what the RCMP finds.
As a City Councillor (2014-2018) I showed constituents respect, communicating regularly, meeting them at homes and coffee shops, returning phone calls. We hosted many public meetings. Residents deserve respect.
We hosted a Community Safety Meeting consultation when I was a Councillor. On Jan 28, Kinga Surma skipped such a meeting at Etobicoke Collegiate, with hundreds of residents, two local MP’s, the local Councillor, and leading crime detectives from 22 Division.
- Housing starts are down 16%
- Lack of action & co-operation with cities to make it harder to build housing
- Renters need protection “RENO-VICTIONS”
- The Landlord tenant Board must resolve cases faster than 8-10 months
- Ford has by far the biggest Cabinet in provincial history (37), with 37 ministries of bureaucrats
- The deficit of high spending has led to $61.4 billion in debt interest payments in 5 years
- Major crimes are up 35% since 2020 (Toronto)
- Car thefts are up 61.5% since 2020 (Toronto)
Cities need more provincial support to hire police officers and Specila.
- Premier Bill Davis intended Ontario Place to be for CHILDREN
- Doug Ford’s Adult Spa is not for kids
- Taxpayer costs will surpass $2.2 billion
- For 95 years Ontario taxpayers will subsidise Therme
The Ontario Auditor General called the Ontario Place Redevelopment Process “Not fair, transparent or accountable”.

JOHN F. CAMPBELL MPP ETOBICOKE-CENTRE
This area of the City of Toronto is bounded by Highway 401 at the western city limit, extending east to Highway 427 and along Eglinton Avenue West to Martin Grove Road. It moves north on Martin Grove to Dixon Road, then east to the Humber River, following the river southeast to Dundas Street West. The boundary continues southwest along Dundas to the Canadian Pacific Railway, south to Mimico Creek, northwest along the creek to Kipling Avenue, south to Bloor Street West, west to Highway 427, then south to Dundas Street West. It proceeds west to the city’s western limit and follows it northwest back to the starting point.
As someone who has proudly served this community—first as the TDSB Etobicoke Centre Trustee for seven years (2003-2010) and later as the Etobicoke Centre City Councillor (former Ward 4) for four years (2014-2018)—I’ve spent the past six years away from politics, focused on other priorities. However, I cannot stand idly by as the Ford government continues to demonstrate what I believe to be deeply misplaced priorities.
This government has squandered precious time and resources on actions that fail to serve Ontarians: opening up the Greenbelt for development to benefit well-connected friends, redesigning license plates, expanding online gambling access, prematurely breaking the Beer Store agreement at a cost of hundreds of millions, slashing Toronto City Council representation, and even proposing a costly and unnecessary tunnel under the 401.
These decisions don’t reflect the needs or values of the people in our province. That’s why I’m stepping forward—to fight for responsible leadership and priorities that truly matter to the people of Ontario.
