Ontario spends record $112-million on advertising, A-G report says

December 2, 2025

The Ontario government spent a record $112-million on advertising in the last fiscal year with the most money directed toward a U.S. media campaign as the threat of tariffs loomed, according to a new report from the province’s Auditor-General.

The “US Partnerships” campaign cost $40.1-million and ran in American TV, print and digital media, with $33-million spent on prime-time spots on CNN, Fox and other large U.S. networks, according to the 2025 annual report from Ontario Auditor-General Shelley Spence released Tuesday.
