Ontario Liberal Election Focus on Health Care Missed the Mark, Campaign Review Says
The Ontario Liberals gained five seats but failed to form Official Opposition as voters prioritized economic issues over healthcare, the party's main campaign focus, a report finds.
- On Monday, the Ontario Liberals' report said the party's campaign focus on health care missed voter concerns and "allowed Doug Ford to define himself," the 27-page report noted.
- Pre-Campaign focus group testing shaped the Ontario Liberals' central platform focus on health, while early polling highlighted health as Bonnie Crombie's strongest issue but showed she trailed Doug Ford on other topics.
- The review noted the party increased seat totals from nine to 14, restored official status, but Bonnie Crombie, Ontario Liberal leader, failed to win her own seat despite praised fundraising and last-minute tour changes.
- At a convention in Toronto, delegates will vote on whether to hold a leadership election, with Bonnie Crombie needing a simple majority of 51 per cent to survive amid calls for stronger backing, and the review urges maintaining fundraising and volunteer coordination between campaigns.
- Conservatives filled the knowledge gap by using negative advertising, while the report admits affordability and job precarity concerns were unmet and Doug Ford's narrative went unchallenged.
