Party website

Changes to this page

  • Record published, with a CASL Seniors Score.
  • CASL no longer rates anyone, so the score shown since October 11 was removed. This page now shows only the public record, with its sources.

Parties can send us a link to new public commitments. We review them every week and add what is public by the same rules as everyone else.

How we choose what to show

Only public, dated sources, each one linked: the party’s own website and platform, government records, and news reports of what they said or did. Five topics that matter to older adults; each line is labelled Record, Promise or Said, and a policy for everyone is marked as such. Where nothing aimed at older adults was found, every page says the same: “We haven’t found a public statement or commitment aimed at older adults on this topic yet.” The same rules apply to everyone, listed in alphabetical order. Read the full rules.

  • Doug FordPremier of Ontario since 2018. Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party.

Questions

What have Marit Stiles and her party put on the record for older adults?
  • Health and care: The 2025 platform promised to stop the privatization of home care and long-term care, pay home care workers the same as hospital workers, and reverse Bill 7, which it says lets hospitals discharge patients into long-term care homes without their consent.
  • Housing and staying at home: The 2025 platform promised to make it easier for seniors to age at home safely, with reliable access to home care and a Seniors Home Safety Grant to help with renovations.
  • Community and caregivers: The 2025 platform promised a monthly Caregiver Benefit for people caring for loved ones at home. In May 2025 an NDP member’s motion called for a direct monthly payment to unpaid caregivers.

Every line links to its source on this page. As of October 13, 2026.
