Ontario’s main political parties are competing for the hearts of voters by appealing to their wallets, with a mix of tax cuts and money-back rebates pitched as helping with the cost of living.

Doug Ford and his Ontario PC Party is campaigning off the one-time $200 cheque that his government is sending to every Ontarian, a $3 billion spend. 

Marit Stiles of the NDP is promising an ongoing monthly “grocery rebate” that would put about $4.9 billion per year back into the pockets of low-to-moderate income earners 

Bonnie Crombie’s Liberal Party and Mike Schreiner’s Green Party are both promising income tax cuts.

The Liberals are targeting the middle-income bracket with about $2.8 billion in annual tax relief, while the Greens’ proposal would cut about $4.7 billion from the the income taxes of both middle- and low-income earners. 

Here’s a comparison of each party’s promises to make your life more affordable.
