I’ll add the Conservatives oppose climate change science, want increased private healthcare and now oppose birthright citizenship (being born in Canada makes you a Canadian citizen - they want to end that). There are more policies that are part of the Conservative platform but these are a few.

Ontario’s education minister is hiring two advisors at $1,500 a day to review why EQAO results aren’t improving. Critics say the answer is obvious: “we don’t need people making $1,500 a day to tell us scores are down because the government cut funding by $1,500 a student.” #cdnpoli
