Mar 30, 2026 - Ontario Budgets are Highly Misleading

By Doug Allan

In the lead up to the Ontario provincial Budget, it's useful to flag just how unreliable they have become as a guide to public spending and provincial deficits in recent years under the Ford government. The government has shown a significant ability to increase funding for public programs and healthcare programs if the public demands it. The Public Accounts report that total provincial government program expenses for 2024-25 increased by $16.9-billion or 8.7 per cent over the previous fiscal year. That is an increase from $195.2-billion in the previous fiscal year to $212.1-billion in 2024/25.

Climate Action Network unequivocally condemns the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran and calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. This is an illegal act of aggression that violates Iran's sovereignty, international law, Iran's sovereignty, the fundamental human rights protections it is meant to uphold, and risks dragging an already devastated region into a wider war.
