Election Day Is FEBRUARY 27, 2025
As Ontarians prepare to head to the polls, it’s clear that the major parties have been silent on several critical issues that matter to you and your community. Your voice can make a difference. Join us in holding candidates accountable by asking them to respond to the following key questions:
Key Questions for CandidateS
Many countries around the world are restricting medical transitioning for minors, including Finland, Sweden, Norway, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Minors in Ontario are not permitted to buy alcohol or vote. A Leger poll found that only 10% of Ontarians are OK with allowing minors to transition without parental involvement.
- Why would we rush children who identify as transgender into a medical transition rather than waiting to see if their gender dysphoria will resolve naturally?
- Will Ontario follow the lead of Alberta and many international jurisdictions and prohibit puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex-change surgeries for minors?
The Ontario Coroner’s office found that Ontarians have been accessing euthanasia due to lack of housing, social, or mental health supports.
- How will you and your party protect vulnerable Ontarians from euthanasia and provide better supports?
- How would your government implement better oversight of euthanasia to ensure that doctors are not euthanizing patients who need better supports rather than death?
How Can You Get Involved?
Pick one of the questions that resonates with you and reach out to your local candidate. Here’s how you can make your voice heard:
- Be Ready at the Door: Print off the attached PDF. When candidates come knocking, you’ll be prepared.
- Send an Email: Reach out directly to your candidates to see how they respond to your question.
- Call Their Campaign Office: A quick call can leave a lasting impression.
- Attend a Candidate Debate: Engage directly with candidates and raise your question during Q&A sessions.
- Visit an Open House: Your candidates will have various open meetings for voters that you can attend. Take a moment to ask them a question.

The 2025 Ontario Election Podcast
Every Tuesday during the campaign, we will release a short podcast episode discussing the election campaign, chatting about the issues at stake in the election, and doing all that we can to educate, equip, and encourage Reformed Christians in Ontario to cast an informed ballot.
A GUIDE TO HOSTING ALL-CANDIDATES MEETINGS
All-Candidates Meetings are opportunities for local candidates and local voters to directly interact. Rather than simply hearing party leaders make promises, voters at all-candidates meetings can get to know the personal values and positions of their local candidates. Organizing all-candidates meetings are excellent opportunities for churches and Christians to focus discussion on key issues that matter to them, such as free speech, family law and conscience rights. We hope that this guide will help churches, ARPA chapters, and other Christian organizations host an all-candidates meeting of their own and positively shape the public discourse around election time.
