In half Ontario’s Snap election campaignThe main parties of the province are silent on whether there are any plans to balance the budget if the government is formed.
In the beginning of the campaign, in two weeks, progressive conservatives, Ontario liberals And the NTP has all issued a series of high -priced promises.
PCs have pledged to create a new tunnel Expressway under the Highway 401, while Ontario liberals are promising a middle -class tax cut. The NTP has promised to increase the school repair budget by more than $ 800 million each year.
But it is a mystery how those promises affect the grassroots of Ontario.
No parties directly respond to questions about global news about whether Ontario’s $ 214 billion budget is planned at any time in the next four years.
“Since 2018, our PC government has added $ 60 billion to the economy of Ontario, without raising a line on the backs of hard work families and workers,” said a spokesman for a progressive conservative campaign.
“Ontario residents can hope to continue the re -elected PC government as taxpayers in charge of dollars, raise the economy and reduce costs for people and businesses.”

The liberals responded that Ford was “the most expensive prime minister in the history of Ontario,” and that the budget could not be balanced.
“As the Prime Minister, he will look at the books of Bonnie Krombi and bring this province back,” the spokesman said.
The question is not to address whether PCs or liberals are planning to balance the budget. The NTP acknowledged the question of global news, but did not respond before the release.
An expert said the shortage of a strict financial plan would not be a problem for any major parties. This is because the public is not less concerned about the prudent budget than the previous elections, and the money will be spent on fixing the primary priorities.
“They are concerned about health care, they are worried about the bot home, they care about the cost of life, and they are concerned about our relationship with the United States,” Ipsos said to Tarrell Bigger Global News.
“All those issues have to spend money to the government, so financial wisdom will not be a dominant issue in the campaign.”
Fees, in particular, have expressed big cost promises from the parties. Progressive Conservatives have billions of taxpayations with new skill training on the desk, while NTP has pledged income support.
Liberals offer a fund to fight the fees that allow businesses to borrow at government rates.
Jai Goldberg, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Jai Goldberg, said the tariff threatening parties should not be carefully forgiven from budget planning.
He invited the leaders to plan a uniform budget-with the desire of short-term shortage costs if it was able to put up time fees.
“The parties must formally formulate a plan with a uniform budget, and then work separately in a payment response plan. I think you can do both parties – you can walk and chew,” Goldburg said.
“This is not an excuse for increasing government spending on a permanent basis by tens of thousands of billions of dollars. When you are in a situation, some people are often seen as a crisis – this is a permanent government cost.”
While Ontario Green has released a full cost base, NTP, liberals and PCs have only issued personal promises – many of which are not connected without cost estimates.
The election will be held on February 27.
