Ontario Liberal Leadership 2026
Working people back at the heart of our politics.

Why this race matters
The next Premier of Ontario could be decided this November.
The Ontario Liberal Party is choosing its next leader, and that leader will take on the government in the next provincial election. The vote happens entirely online from November 9 to 20. Anyone can vote, but only if they become a member first. That is the whole game: members pick the leader, the leader fights for the province.
Free to join
Ontario Liberal membership costs nothing. Two minutes, no fees, no commitment beyond your vote.
Vote from your couch
The entire vote happens online from November 9 to 20. No lines, no travel, no excuses.
Your vote actually counts
Leadership races are decided by thousands of votes, not millions. One signup genuinely moves the needle.
The plan
Five promises. No fine print.
Pillar 01
Housing is a right
A rent freeze, a Tenant Bill of Rights, and a Public Builder putting up homes at a historic rate.
Pillar 02
A $22 living wage
Full-time work in Ontario should cover rent, groceries, and a life with dignity.
Pillar 03
Healthcare that’s actually public
End privatization. The best nurse to patient ratio in the country. Mental health in OHIP.
Pillar 04
Right to repair for Ontario’s farmers
Rural Ontario feeds this province. Keep the land, the income, and the repairs in farmers’ hands.
Pillar 05
Fast and free GO Transit
A daily GO commute can cost $5,000 a year. That’s not a commute, that’s a second rent.
Who is Vikram
Not a career politician. That’s the point.
Vikram Handa has spent a decade building housing and defending civil rights, not climbing party ladders. He owes no favours, answers to no insiders, and talks about we, not I. The status quo is broken, and the people in charge are too comfortable to fix it.
