Instead he chose to turn his party into the provincial wing of Justin Trudeau's Liberals. The Ontario Party is here to take Ontario back, to defend freedom, family, and faith from Doug Ford!”He promises that the Ontario Party will be focused on accountability for the lockdowns and mandates imposed by the Ford government, a parents first approach to education, and the protection of civil liberties for every citizen.
