What’s Really Going On in Ontario? More on Jobs, Housing & the Road Ahead

Ontario isn’t on the verge of change—we’re already in the middle of it.

The headlines say the economy is up, jobs are growing, and transit is being built. But that’s not what most people feel. Rent is still high. Groceries cost more. Commutes are longer. And stable jobs are harder to find. For a lot of Ontarians, the future feels more uncertain than ever.

That’s why I’m sharing this update. Not to sell a talking point, but to be honest about where we’re at and what we need to do.

Our economy is growing, yes—but not for everyone. Big cities and some industries are doing well. Small towns and local businesses? Not so much. Inflation may be slowing, but most people still feel squeezed. Economic growth only matters if people actually feel it in their daily lives.

We’re seeing more jobs—mostly in transport and service work. But more and more of these jobs are contract, gig, or part-time. That means fewer benefits, no long-term security, and harder paths to owning a home or saving for retirement. Work should offer stability, not just hours.

Housing is the biggest problem we face. It used to be normal to buy a home in your late twenties. Today, people are still renting well into their forties. In some places, houses cost 15 or 20 times what the average person earns in a year. That’s not affordable. That’s broken. We need to build faster, crack down on speculation, and give cities more power to fix this locally.

Transit? We’ve been hearing about new lines for years. Ontario Line. Crosstown. Highway 413. But commuters are still stuck in traffic or waiting for buses that don’t come. Projects need to be finished—not just announced. Transit should be reliable, affordable, and make daily life easier.

The budget looks a little better. The deficit’s shrinking. Rebates are coming. That helps. But it’s not a long-term plan. We can’t rely on short-term handouts. We need smart spending—on housing, healthcare, transit, and education. Investments that actually make a difference.

There was a time—not that long ago—when one income could buy a house, raise a family, and build a future. That wasn’t a dream. That was real. It’s not gone forever. But we do have to fight for it.

We’re not broken. But we’re tired. And that’s fair.

The Ontario Centrist Party isn’t here to yell, divide, or blame. We’re here to focus on what works. We believe in balance. In real ideas that solve real problems. In leadership that’s calm, thoughtful, and clear.

We believe in you. In the people who show up, work hard, and still care about where Ontario is going. We’re here to serve that energy—not waste it.

Let’s stop waiting for someone else to fix it. Let’s fix it together.

Let’s get to work.

Ontario’s Honest Look at the 2025 Federal Election

We’re just days away from a federal election that could reshape the direction of the country. But for many Ontarians, the mood isn’t hopeful or inspired—it’s uncertain. And for good reason.

In this update, I speak plainly about the growing discomfort many of us feel when we look at our choices.

  • The Liberals have introduced legislation like Bill C-11, C-63, and C-26 that—while framed as public interest—raise serious concerns about privacy, free speech, and government overreach.

  • The Conservatives are leaning into stronger punitive measures and emergency powers. While security matters, there’s a thin line between safety and suppressing rights.

  • The NDP, despite good intentions, have spent years backing Liberal moves that many now view as compromising democratic accountability.

As Ontarians, we’re watching this unfold and asking: Where’s the voice of balance?

That’s where the Centrist Party comes in. Not to fan flames or play sides—but to insist on policies that are thoughtful, transparent, and rooted in real-world outcomes, not ideology.

This video lays it out plainly. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch and reflect—not just on who to vote for, but why.

Ontario deserves more than slogans. We deserve a say.
Let’s make it count. Let’s get to work.
