Will Ontario Liberal Budget Trigger Spring Election?

Green Party Ontario Anticipates Spring Election!

Green Party of Ontario, examining party budget reactions anticipates a spring election as evidenced in emails issued early today:

April 24th, politicians at Queen's Park will decide whether or not to plunge Ontario into another election, when they vote on the provincial budget. The Tories have already rejected the budget out of hand, and the NDP is still on the fence.

This means we may be facing election this spring, only 6 months after the last one.

Today's poll from Nik Nanos has only a 8% margin between Liberals/PC/NDP. The other parties' insiders might be planning on how an election would be in their own best interests, rather than looking at what is best for Ontario.

This same poll has the GPO at 6%. It's clear that people in Ontario want a party that will hold politicians to account. It's time to look out for the long term interests of Ontario, not the short term interests of political parties.

What do you think? Will we be having a Spring election, or will the budget pass on April 24th?

Green Party of Ontario Releases 2011 Platform : How Could it Benefit You?

Free Time Political Announcement: Ontario Green Party

On May 25th, Green Party of Ontario (GPO) leader Mike Schreiner, alongside fellow candidates, shadow cabinet members and supporters, released the 2011 Provincial Election Platform. Mike presented the GPO's five-point plan for Ontario's future, a bold vision for building a financially, socially and environmentally sustainable province for all Ontarians. If you weren't able to attend the platform launch at Queen's Park, you can see the video online from the convenience of your home or office.
We made history on May 2nd, permanently changing the Canadian political landscape. The election of Elizabeth May as our first Green MP to the House of Commons is an accomplishment we can all be proud of. We have proven that it is very possible to win seats within our current electoral system, just as Caroline Lucas in the UK and Adam Bandt in Australia have done.
Here in Ontario, the GPO is eager to build on our historic moment. With the federal election behind us, we hope you can now look towards the Ontario provincial election just over four months away. To that end, the GPO's five-point plan - found at www.itstimeforgreen.ca - is the next step in building upon our historic feat:

Creating jobs for a 21st-century economy;
Harnessing safe, affordable energy to power our communities;
Promoting access to quality, sustainable health care close to home;
Feeding our communities by championing local farms; and
Delivering government that works for people.

To get your free copy of the GPO's election platform, come to one of the provincial platform launch events, or request a copy by filling out the online order form. Thank you for your support of the Green Party of Canada and Ontario. We both hope you roll up your sleeves and take part in the upcoming provincial election campaign. Yours Sincerely,
Becky Smit, Provincial Campaign Manager
