Today I am ending my campaign. I am grateful to everyone who shared our belief that Ontario Can Still Win. This is just the end of the beginning. I am also proud to endorse Lee Fairclough for Ontario Liberal leader and Premier of Ontario.

The addiction and homelessness that is happening in this province is a complete disgrace. We need to focus on building capacity in our system – so that when someone wants help, it's actually available for them.

My competitors will say things that sound nice but say nothing. I am the only candidate that has put forward an actual plan.

Ontario has some of the longest permitting timelines in the world. The Ontario Line is costing 5 times what it would in other places.

There's no one who wanted to spread cheeks more for Donald Trump than Doug Ford.

We cannot have more leaders who serve word salad and a side of sloppy short-term thinking. Our next leader needs to take risks and offer a better vision for the future of Ontario if we're going to win.

It's time to end Ontario's era of "Tall and Sprawl". Our archaic building code rules have resulted in housing that is uglier, more expensive, and with fewer units that make sense for families. By changing the rules, we can build communities more beautifully and affordably.

When it comes to housing, we have to do the big things.

How do you create resiliency in a smaller economy? Build things that the world needs and cannot easily get elsewhere.

Yesterday, I was asked by the Star for comments on privatizing airports, including Pearson. Please find my statement in the captured text. In sum: based on what I’ve seen, I do not support privatization of existing public assets, even as I support more private investment in new infrastructure.

Ontario should be the best place in the world to be a student and build a future. That means forgiving OSAP for graduates who stay, building more student housing to bring down rent, and growing a stronger economy with real opportunity for young people.

Northern Ontario has immense promise. But too many communities still ride the boom and bust of commodities. To develop a stronger North: - Move provincial jobs north - Invest in healthcare - Build better roads and rail - Make it easier for people to stay and build a life

Why should a taxpayer in Windsor pay millions to rip out bike lanes in Toronto? We need to get this message out across the province. This is how Ford wants to use your money.

Eric Lombardi (EricForOLP.ca) @ericlombardi.ca · 25/08/2026
Why is Doug Ford fighting with Toronto over bike lanes? The city has already invested heavily in cycling infrastructure, and Bike Share Toronto is at record-high ridership. His plan will cost taxpayers across the province millions and won’t do anything to improve congestion.

Had a great weekend doing events around the GTA, speaking with Liberals and Ontarians about what matters. A big focus on trade and the economy, and how to repair our systems for housing, infrastructure, education and healthcare. 1) Saturday BBQ with the Richmond Hill PLA.

Grade inflation is out of control. A horrible spiral where standards slip –> grades go up –> university cutoffs go up –> teachers feel pressure to give higher marks. It's time to end this government's era of falling standards – let's reintroduce standardized testing.

A middle-class society is one where ordinary work creates a real path to ownership. A useful education should lead to a job that pays enough to buy a home and save. My latest for The Hub: thehub.ca/2026/08/11/o...

In Ontario, many of us were disappointed that; 1. Doug Ford cancelled municipal ranked ballots 2. We haven't proceeded with electoral reforms Eric, @ericlombardi.ca is committed to both with citizen input. There are many ideas to get excited about #Onpoli #OntarioLiberals
Form a binding citizens' assembly to select a new electoral system. Pass legislation to create the assembly and implement its chosen system by the next election, guided by two simple principles: every vote must count, and local representation must be retained.

Empower ministers and MPPs to do great work and be accountable for it. Cut cabinet to no more than 15 ministers, reduce the size and gatekeeping role of the Premier's Office, and restore real authority and accountability to ministers and the Legislature. Encourage serious private members' legislation, stronger committee work, and better scrutiny of spending, appointments, and public agencies.

Allow municipalities to choose alternative electoral systems. Open the door to ranked ballots and other voting models that improve representation, accountability, and voter choice.

How are we going to defeat the Conservatives? Well, if we want to win government again, we need to inspire, we need to grow our tent, and we need to operate with greater excellence.

This is what this looks like for Canada: At the turn of the century, it was possible for someone earning normal wages to climb to the top quartile of wealth through ordinary saving, in less than 25 years. Two decades later, it’s not possible in an a career.

Ontario is facing a humanitarian crisis. People sleeping on sidewalks, open drug use, mental health crises happening in plain sight. And while this government finds billions for scandalous priorities and half-baked projects, communities are left begging for basic support.

As you get older in Ontario, it feels like you have two options: try to stay in your own home for as long as possible, or move into long-term care. What if there were more? I believe in empowering solutions like seniors co-housing, so that they can age with grace:
