Who's behind 'Project Ontario,' the group pushing Doug Ford to be more conservative? | CBC News
Briefly

Project Ontario is a newly launched grassroots initiative urging Premier Doug Ford's government to embrace fiscally conservative policies. The movement surfaced with a manifesto that critiques economic decline and burdensome regulations in Ontario. The initiative comes shortly after Ford secured a third consecutive majority, a historic feat. While details on the initiative's leaders remain unclear, it has gained traction among conservatives and plans to host an assembly this fall. Prominent conservatives, including Ginny Roth, are showing interest, reflecting a growing demand for change within the party.
"When conservatives lose their principles, Ontario loses its way. Let's change course," says the website.
The group's manifesto speaks of the province in bleak terms, describing economic decline, punitive tax rates and businesses weighed down by mounting red tape.
