A screenshot of a policy document titled "DEMOCRACY & GOVERNANCE · THE PLAN" at the top. A large heading reads "01 Restore Pride In Our Democracy" in bold black and red text. The main paragraph text reads: "Make Ontario’s elected institutions actually work: MPPs who legislate, ministers who decide, voters whose choices reflect their preferences, and a government held to account for what it delivers. Smaller cabinet, stronger Legislature, more electoral choice." Below this, a bullet point highlighted with a red square reads: "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."
A screenshot of a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) showing a quote tweet by Bridget Girard (@bgirard_liberal) responding to a post by Member of Parliament Jamil Jivani (@jamiljivani). The included tweet by Jamil Jivani reads: "Liberals think they get to change this country for the worse without a fight. No. If you're going to promote Liberal degeneracy, we will call it out. If you're going to force your values on our kids, we will take a stand. Canada deserves much better than Carney's managed decline." The quote tweet response by Bridget Girard reads: "I was @jamiljivani's opponent in the last election. Retired after 31 years of work with the same employer, I served thousands of students & their families. My husband and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage this month. Our 3 adult daughters all finished school. We nursed our youngest through a critical illness. I have belonged to my current parish for the past 30 years and my home parish for 20 years before that. I am active in my community. None of this makes me better than he is, or anyone else is for that matter. I have been very fortunate in my life. But if by Liberal degeneracy he means defending equal rights, having compassion & loving the distinctive nature of Canada then I guess that we're guilty. His gaslighting imported culture wars are not helpful and frankly unbecoming of a Member of Parliament. #Bowmanville #Oshawa #Clarington"

An infographic titled Ontario votes 2025 illustrates the disparity between voter intention and legislative results by comparing two pie charts. The first chart, labeled How we voted (popular vote), shows the PC party at 43%, the Liberals at 29.9%, the NDP at 18.6%, the Greens at 4.8%, and other parties at 3.8%.
