Ontario PCs Meet This Weekend Amid Calls for Policy Changes

Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives will convene a policy convention in Toronto amid internal concerns about the party’s direction after nearly eight years in power. A group called Project Ontario, comprising 11 conservative strategists, is urging members to critically evaluate the party’s principles and vision, advocating for traditional conservative policies like tax cuts and education choice. Critics within the group argue that the government has mishandled key issues, leading to tension with Premier Doug Ford, who has dismissed their critiques. Despite the controversy, a party spokesperson emphasized that delegates will have opportunities to voice their ideas, asserting that the party listens to its members.
