<h5>Too many Ontarians work full-time and still cannot pay rent or put food on the table.</h5><p>We will establish a<strong> living wage of $22 an hour </strong>so everyone can stay in their homes, support their families, and live with dignity.</p><p>We will bring in a <strong>Golden Age of Labour in Ontario</strong>: making it easier to join a union through card-check certification and first-contract arbitration, banning scab labour and worker misclassification, making ironclad laws around wage theft, and guaranteeing paid sick days.</p><p><strong>We will be a government that stands in solidarity.</strong></p>

<h5>Fast and free transit to cut commutes, cut costs, and bring families together.</h5><p>The cost of commuting to school, to see family, and to work adds up — averaging $5,000 per person a year.</p><p><strong>We'll make GO Transit free with our FREE THE GO policy;</strong> it'll lower monthly bills for over 1 million commuters, cut traffic throughout the province, bring families together by cutting commute times, and spur massive economic gains.</p><p>We will cut costs and speed up timelines of transit construction across the province by <strong>ending corrupt Public-Private Partnerships.</strong></p>

<h2>Free the Go</h2>

<h5>Ontarians should need an OHIP card, not a credit card, to access care.</h5><p>We'll give Ontario the best nurse-to-patient ratios in the country, ban private nursing agencies from our hospitals, stop privitization and make universal mental healthcare part of OHIP.</p><p>We will bring permanent public healthcare infrastructure to rural and Northern Ontario, because healthcare is a public service, not a privilege determined by your postal code or your ability to pay.</p>

<h2>Public Healthcare Now</h2>

<h5>While Doug Ford has created an OSAP crisis and the broken status quo made post-secondary education synonymous with debt, <strong>we say: education is a right.</strong></h5><p>We won't let the aspirations of a family or a young mind be held hostage by the size of their bank account. <strong>Public trade schools, colleges, and universities will be tuition-free for domestic students.</strong></p><p>We'll make a generational investment to build safe, supported K-12 classrooms, <strong>end special-education waitlists, and</strong> <strong>lift wage caps </strong>on the workers who keep our schools running.</p>

<h5>Housing is a human right - no one should be priced out of a place to call home.</h5><p>As Ontario faces a housing crisis, we will <strong>freeze rents</strong>, protecting four million Ontarians.</p><p>We will bring in a <strong>Tenant Bill of Rights and a 100-day LTB guarantee</strong> to protect families, and<strong> restore rent control </strong>to post-2018 builds, securing 250,000 homes.</p><p>We will build 100% public housing at a historic rate — including co-operative and supportive housing, and tens of thousands of rent-geared-to-income homes designed to meet the diverse needs of our province.</p><p>We support inclusive zoning that protects the character and quality of life in communities.</p>

<p>Housing is a human right - no one should be priced out of a place to call home.</p>

<h2>Housing For All</h2>

<h5>Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a life of dignity, security, and success, no matter where they call home.</h5><p>Northern Ontario creates enormous wealth while its communities are left with unsafe roads, fewer services, and fewer options.</p><p>We'll deliver a <strong>New Deal for Northern Ontario with a Jobs, Healthcare, and Housing Guarantee.</strong></p><p>We'll twin northern highways, strengthen road-repair standards for seasonal flooding, and build permanent public healthcare infrastructure.</p><p>For too long, Queen's Park has asked the North to give more and settle for less. We'll make sure Northern wealth works for its people.</p>

<p>Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a life of dignity, security, and success, no matter where they call home.</p>

<h2>A New Deal for the North</h2>

<h5>Strengthen local food production to lower costs for everyone.</h5><p>Rural Ontario feeds our province, but farm families are being squeezed while grocery giants and corporate middlemen make record profits.</p><p>We'll <strong>ban foreign ownership of Ontario farmland</strong> and guarantee farmers the right to repair their own equipment through a <strong>provincial Right to Repair Act.</strong></p><p>No small family farm should have to fight a multinational corporation alone.</p><p>We'll <strong>repeal Bills 5 and 97 </strong>to protect Ontario farmland, invest in rural housing, healthcare, and infrastructure so families can build their futures where they live and work.</p><p>We will strengthen Ontario's food security with a <strong>Farm to Table Act </strong>— so more of the food grown in Ontario is processed in Ontario, sold in Ontario, and served on Ontarians' tables.</p><p>By cutting out corporate profiteering, we'll lower grocery bills, raise farm incomes, and keep Ontario's farmland in the hands of the people who work it.</p><p>And we'll bring manufacturing home: instead of sending billions of public dollars out of province and out of the country, a <strong>Made-in-Ontario Procurement Act</strong> will keep more than $45 billion in annual government purchasing here at home.</p><p>This will create permanent agrifood jobs and strengthen local supply chains.</p>
