Rural Ontario is closer than you think. Just beyond our cities are main streets, festivals, trails, markets and communities with something worth discovering. This fall, take a trip beyond the city, explore somewhere new and support the local businesses that help rural economies thrive.   #ONRuralWeek @LisaThompsonPC @billythekidpc

Since 2018, we’ve attracted over $5 billion in agri-food manufacturing investment and created over 22,000 jobs right here at home. We will continue to make Ontario the most competitive place to invest and grow while building a more secure, sovereign and self-reliant food supply.

In 2018, @fordnation stood with Pickering nuclear workers and promised to protect their jobs.   Today, we are delivering on that promise, protecting 4,500 workers and creating 30,500 more jobs as construction starts on one of Canada's largest clean energy projects.   As U.S. tariffs threaten our economy, we’re doubling down on homegrown nuclear energy, creating 150,000 jobs across Ontario.

It was a privilege to be in Parry Sound to celebrate the naming of the new Francis Pegahmagabow Elementary School, honouring a remarkable Anishinaabe leader, decorated First World War veteran and proud member of Wasauksing First Nation. It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout from the community and to mark this special occasion alongside members of the Pegahmagabow family, students, educators and staff. I wish everyone at Francis Pegahmagabow Elementary School every success as they learn and grow.

Buy Ontario. Buy Canadian. For governments across Ontario, it’s not an option. It’s the law.
Now, more than ever, we need a Team Canada approach to protect our workers, businesses and communities.  
 
Yesterday, I wrote to Ontario’s 444 municipalities to make clear our expectation that they fully comply with Buy Ontario policies and maximize the use of Ontario and Canadian goods and services.    In the face of U.S. tariffs, every procurement dollar matters. Together, we will stand up for our workers, strengthen our economy and protect Ontario.

In the face of U.S. tariffs, our government is fighting back by positioning Ontario as the destination of choice for businesses to invest, grow and create jobs.   Since 2018, Ontario has attracted $235B+ in investments, creating over one million jobs here at home.

Since 2018, Ontario’s non-U.S. exports have grown nearly 75 per cent.   We’re building on that growth by diversifying trade and attracting job-creating investments from around the globe to protect our workers here at home. @VictorFedeli @fordnation

Ontario is building the largest transit expansion in North America.   With nearly $70 billion being invested in public transit, we’re building new subways, expanding GO service and connecting more communities across the province.
