Ontarians aged 18-and-older are preparing for a cold trip to the ballot box on February 27th. Today, all 4 political parties launched their election campaigns, as they gear up for 28 days of political warfare.

It features Niipaawi Strategies founder Cam Holmstrom, Hollis Strategies CEO William Hollis, and McMillan Vantage Managing Director Richard Mahoney.
