The Ontario election campaign has begun, highlighted by unsolicited text messages from PC Leader Doug Ford aimed at engaging voters. Although some recipients are skeptical, these texts, offering information about polling locations, are legal under Ontario election laws. This strategy, employed in previous elections, aligns with modern campaign methods. Additionally, the week was marked by discussions about tariffs affecting local businesses and significant funding contracts, indicating various economic issues influencing the political landscape. Voters are encouraged to verify election-related messages through trusted sources such as Elections Ontario.
"Elections Ontario is your trusted source for accurate election information. If you have any questions or come across something you're unsure about, visit us at elections.on.ca for the facts you can trust."
"The texts are allowed under Ontario election law and were also used by the PC campaigns in 2018 and 2022."
"The Ontario PCs are sending unsolicited texts to some voters, offering in follow-up messages to provide a voting location on election day."
"In a world where digital spam and scams seem relentless, you may be skeptical about the messages especially because follow-up texts solicit your postal code."
