ServiceOntario Shutdowns are a Gift to Ford’s Friends

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
​January 15, 2024

TORONTO, ON – Bonnie Crombie, Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, released the following statement in response to the Ford government’s plan to replace 11 ServiceOntario centers in favour of Staples and Wal-Mart kiosks:

“Once again, Doug Ford is catering to wealthy Conservative insiders instead of protecting the services Ontarians rely on. 

These sole-source contracts are just another example of the desperate and shady practices taken by this scandal-plagued government, all in an attempt to change the channel away from their failures in healthcare and housing affordability.

The Premier needs to come clean and explain to Ontarians why they are footing the bill to retrofit multi-billion-dollar American businesses.”
