About the author

Ontario Liberals have a long tradition of working to improve the lives of all Ontarians, from the party's pre-Confederation roots as a force for equality and democracy, to the Wynne Liberals of today.

The Ontario Liberal Party has its roots in the Reform Party of William Lyon Mackenzie and Robert Baldwin, who fought for real democracy in the 1830s and 1840s against the elitist, conservative rule of the Family Compact.

The party as we know it today was founded by George Brown - owner of the Toronto Globe and a key figure in uniting Upper and Lower Canada.

Today we continue on in the best tradition of the early party – whether investing in public health care to make wait times in Ontario the shortest in Canada, introducing the first full-day kindergarten to help both parents and students, or helping to make Ontario a North American leader in clean technology – attracting more, higher paying jobs for Ontario families.

The words of Liberal Prime Minister Sir Wilfred Laurier a century ago ring true for Ontario Liberals today: “I am a liberal. I am one of those who think that everywhere in human beings, there are abuses to be reformed, new horizons to be opened up, and new forces to be developed.”

Second Ottawa West-Nepean Voter Receives PC Vote Suppression Letter

June 11, 2014

A second Ottawa West-Nepean resident has come forward after receiving a PC Party letter that told her to vote at the wrong location – after she told the local PC campaign she was not a Conservative supporter.
 
Ms. Brigitte Zirger was contacted by Randall Denley’s PC campaign in May and said she would not be supporting Denley’s campaign.
 
"I am disappointed to have received a letter directing us to the wrong polling station after having told Randall Denley's campaign that I would not be supporting him in this election.  It makes me wonder about the PC Party's ethics,” said Zirger.
 
All of the voters who have come forward so far said they aren’t voting PC, raising troubling questions about whether the Conservative mail campaign is targeting non-conservative voters in an effort to keep them away from voting on Election Day.
 
The letter cites a polling station at St. Paul’s High School, which is more than a kilometre away from Zirger’s actual polling station at St. John the Apostle School.
 
The new letter is virtually identical to other misdirecting PC letters sent to London and Ottawa residents.  All the letters appear to have been routed through the same Toronto postal centre.
 
Contrary to Tim Hudak’s claim that “the materials had the PC party on them,” this letter had no PC markings. (source: CP24, June 10)

Ontario Liberals are still waiting for answers from Tim Hudak and have launched a new hotline to help voters report election fraud.  Voters who are subjected to fraudulent calls and misleading information can phone 1-647-341-6754 for assistance.
