The Progressive Conservative party's third consecutive majority victory is certainly a rare one — a feat not seen since 1959 — and also took place during the first winter election the province has had in 44 years.

"We've attracted over $70 billion in new investments into our economy, in new auto and battery plants in our manufacturing sector, in new life science facilities in Ontario's growing tech sector. Now, together, we have to fight hard to protect our progress." "We asked the people for a mandate to get the federal government out of our way so we can get shovels in the ground on the projects that will build the True North strong and free. The people said yes. We asked the people for a mandate to build pipelines, to build rail lines and transmission lines, to diversify our trade, find new markets, new customers, and rely less on the old ones. The people said yes.

We'll retrain workers for better jobs and bigger paychecks. We'll retool companies for new customers and new markets. We'll re-shore supply chains to bring good jobs back home. We'll rebuild roads and highways to keep people working and keep our economy competitive.
