Here is the first policy brief in Ontario 360’s pre-election series that will run twice-weekly between now and the provincial election’s campaign kick-off.

Ontario 360’s goal: to inform election-related policy thinking.

Today marks 100 days to the provincial election on June 2nd, and we launch our series with a policy brief by Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs and a senior fellow at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. It provides insights into and analysis of the public mood in the Province of Ontario and the key issues animating provincial voters including the pandemic, housing, and health care.

Future Ontario 360 briefing memos, and online discussions will set out additional research and analysis on a wide range of policy issues from fiscal policy to homelessness, to innovation policy to urban Indigenous issues, and tax policy to the future of work.

Thank you for your ongoing interest in, and support for, the Ontario 360 project. We look forward to engaging with Ontario policymakers, the University of Toronto community, stakeholders, and the broader public on the big policy issues that ought to animate the public debate in the lead up to the forthcoming provincial election.
