Ontarians are increasingly concerned about the direction of healthcare and cost of living, with nearly half believing it is time for a government change.

Housing affordability, medical wait times, and access to family doctors have emerged as critical pain points affecting both long-term residents and newcomers to the province.

The strain on healthcare infrastructure has been particularly acute for immigrant families, who often face additional barriers in navigating an already stretched system.

While the Ford government maintains a strong electoral lead at 48%, public sentiment reveals deep frustration with affordability issues that transcend political allegiance.

Even Progressive Conservative supporters express pessimism about housing costs and healthcare access, signalling that these kitchen-table concerns could reshape Ontario's political landscape heading into 2026.
