This month, S&P Global upgraded Ontario’s credit rating, handing our province our second upgrade in half a year and continuing our government’s reversal of a decade-long trend of downgrades under the previous Liberal government.

Why should Ontario taxpayers care?

Because improved credit ratings and their accompanying lower borrowing costs give us the flexibility to keep helping families that are struggling due to high interest rates and the federal government’s terrible carbon tax. And at a time of global economic uncertainty, particularly with a new administration taking office south of the border, that flexibility is more important than ever.
