Ontario is building for the future.
We’re investing $31 billion in highways, roads and bridges, including Project Connect on Highways 3 and 4 in our region to keep divers safe, reduce gridlock and strengthen our economy.

[Ernie Hardeman @erniehardeman]

Our government is making record investments to protect our health-care system, investing over $101 billion this year alone.

Here in Oxford, that means connecting more people to family doctors, expanding care closer to home and ensuring patients get the care they need faster.

[Ernie Hardeman @erniehardeman]

Ontario is the first and only province to remove ALL of its exceptions under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement!

We're opening new markets here at home, helping Ont producers reach across Canada while lowering costs and building a more self-reliant economy.

We’re building a more secure, sovereign and self-reliant food sector to grow and make more food right here at home.
Backed by more than $60M in government support, Ontario’s agriculture sector has grown by $4.5B since 2018 and supports more than 850k jobs across the province.

We owe it to our brave police officers to ensure they have the tools they need to do their jobs safely.
We’re urging the federal government to take the actions below to protect our officers and communities they serve.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Police officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. The least we can do in response is have their backs, no matter what.

Today, I wrote to the Prime Minister outlining a series of practical steps to support and protect our brave women and men in uniform.

[Ernie Hardeman @erniehardeman]

It is a time to reflect on the history and lasting impacts of the Indian Residential School system, honour Indigenous voices and reaffirm our commitment to reconciliation by working together in true partnership.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we honour the Survivors of the residential school system and remember those who never came home.

Canadian sovereignty starts with energy sovereignty.
Ontario and Alberta are working together to build a new energy corridor from Hardisty to Sarnia, strengthening domestic supply chains and reducing reliance on foreign markets.
Canada is building its own energy future.

[Ernie Hardeman @erniehardeman]

Auto theft is down across Ontario, but we’re not letting up.
Our government is investing an additional $6 million to give police the tools and resources they need to go after organized criminals, disrupt auto theft networks and protect Ontario communities.

Our government is getting drivers in Oxford moving faster.
We’ve increased the speed limit to 110 km/h on major sections of Highways 401 and 402, with the final rollout also increasing limits on sections of Highway 403, making travel faster and more consistent for drivers.

In the face of U.S. tariffs, we’re building a more self-reliant agri-food sector to grow and make more food right here at home.

Today, Ontario’s food and beverage manufacturing sector alone supports 126,000 jobs, contributing $13.6 billion to our economy every year.

[Ernie Hardeman @erniehardeman]

In 2018, we stood with Pickering nuclear workers and promised to protect their jobs.
Today, we are delivering on that promise, protecting 4,500 workers and creating 30,500 more jobs as construction starts on one of Canada's largest clean energy projects.
