The Changing Political Landscape in Ontario

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the changing political landscape in Ontario, arguing that the increased instability in Provincial Politics is caused by three specific reasons. The paper then expands on this idea and lists the three reasons as being the inability to keep promises, the image of policy and the move toward neo-liberalism.

From the Paper:

" Stability would seem to be the best word to describe party politics and governmental structure in Ontario for many decades. From the time of confederation (1867) to 1985 elected parties could expect to be re-elected at least once if not numerous times. For example, the Liberal Party of Ontario governed Ontario from 1871-1905 (34 years) and from 1934 to 1943(9 years). Likewise, the Progressive Conservative governed Ontario from 1943 to 1985 (42 years). However, in 1985 the period of stability ended. 1985 saw two consecutive governments formed in a single year. "
