Ford confirmed, however, that he has given his party's members of provincial parliament a December deadline to decide if they will run again. He said in the interim, his government will focus on job creation, health care, education and infrastructure projects like building highways and transit. Those musings kicked off a summer of campaign preparations from the opposition parties, as well as the majority-government Tories.
The party said they received nearly 20,000 contributions over that time frame making the average donation just shy of $52. The Green Party of Ontario, which now has two seats in the legislature, has said it spent the summer working on building local teams as its leader and deputy leaders canvassed in ridings.
