It’s official: Ontario has removed all of its Party-Specific Exceptions under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement.
To date, we are the first and only province to do so.
We encourage more provinces and territories to join us in tearing down interprovincial trade barriers that cost the Canadian economy up to $200 billion annually.
NEW: The Ontario NDP has released its costed platform:
It includes $33.7 billion / 3 years on net new programs including a grocery rebate, doubled ODSP rates, increases to education and healthcare, and the creation of Homes Ontario - a provincial agency to build affordable housing.
The NDP would introduce new tax brackets for those earning between $300,000-$500,000 a year, a luxury residence tax, and increasing the capital gains inclusion rate estimated to bring in $6.8b/year.
The difference, would all be deficit spending.

McKinsey's work citing the 'benefits' of tariffs should automatically disqualify it from any contracts with Canadian fed/prov governments or other affected governments.
This is the same firm that paid a $650M fine and apologized for its role in helping Purdue supercharge opioid sales.
President Trump’s decision to tariff Canada is extremely disappointing and will hurt millions of workers on both sides of the border. We don’t want to be here, but make no mistake: Canada will hit back and we’ll hit back hard.
In response to the American tariffs, I have directed government and crown agencies to exclude US suppliers from any new purchasing or procurement agreements.
It’s just one of the actions we are taking to prioritize Canada first.
