URGENT: Just days until the election! Ontarians want to know where their candidates stand on the issues that matter to them, like health. In fact, Ipsos Reid found that 85% of Ontarians would support investing more to promote and support better health. That's why we're calling on all party leaders and their respective candidates to "go healthy" this election by committing to invest more to promote and support better health in Ontario.
Health care already costs almost 50 cents of every dollar that Queen's Park spends. If we're not careful, that could accelerate to 80 cents by 2030. That's a bill we simply can't afford. Investing in better health can help prevent 80% of premature heart disease and stroke. That will save money and lives today and tomorrow.
This election will be a conversation about the future health of Ontario. So act now by sending a letter to the Party Leaders telling them how proud you'll be when they and all their candidates "go healthy!"
