Advance voting opens Thursday in Ontario election with only 1 of 4 full platforms out

By Canadian Press on February 19, 2025.

Advance voting opens Thursday in Ontario’s election, and only the Green Party has released a full platform.

A spokesperson for Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford, who has not taken questions on the campaign trail in nine days, says his plan will be released “in the coming days.”

Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie says much of her policy has been released, and her team is working on the costing.

Speaking at a campaign event in Clarence-Rockland, just east of Ottawa, she also said Ford is “hiding” after calling an early and unnecessary snap election.

NDP Leader Marit Stiles does not have any public events today, but she said after Monday night’s debate that she will have a fully costed platform and that “it’s coming,” but she didn’t indicate when.

The snap election will be held on Feb. 27.
