The 2022 Ontario general election was held on June 2, 2022 to elect the 124 members of the 43rd Parliament of Ontario. The Progressive Conservative (PC) Party of Ontario, led by Doug Ford, won a majority government with 83 of the 124 seats in the legislature. The incumbent party, they increased their seat share from 76 in the 2018 election. They campaigned on a slogan to “get it done,” pledging to build highways and transit infrastructure and open up the “Ring of Fire,” a mineral-rich area in northern Ontario. Instead of an election platform, the Ontario PC Party presented its promises on its website in the form of press releases throughout the campaign.

1.11.13 - “[B]uild the Sheppard Loop with Scarborough”

For The People: A Plan for Ontario

Published: Jun 2018

Justification

The Ontario Government has begun the procurement process for this project and allocated funding for this line in its 2022 budget, however construction has not started. Therefore the promise is partially kept.

“The [Ontario] government’s capital plan is one of the most ambitious in the province’s history, with planned investments over the next 10 years totalling $158.8 billion, including $20.0 billion in 2022–23. This plan is getting shovels in the ground to build highways, hospitals and other critical assets, laying the foundation for a stronger Ontario. Key highlights in the capital plan include: […] $61.6 billion over 10 years for public transit, including: […] Advancing planning work for the Sheppard Subway Extension that will connect the existing terminus at Don Mills Station (TTC’s Line 4) with the future Scarborough Subway Extension, delivering smarter, better and faster transit.”

Justification

The Ontario government says there is currently no money set aside for the project.

“In its budget, released on Thursday, the Ontario government said there is no money set aside for extending the Sheppard subway line. […] Although the Sheppard subway extension is drawn on the map, officials said there’s only money to do design work—and none, yet, to build it.”
