Why is the Green Party of Ontario the best party to improve our economy? It’s a matter of economic focus:

Libs & Cons: Big Business
NDP: Big Labour
GPO: Small and Medium Business

Here’s a little Statscan fact I read last Tuesday in the Globe:

99.7 per cent of all Canadians work for companies with 500 or fewer employees, and of those, 80 per cent are employeed by firms with 20 people or fewer” ^[1]

and here’s another:

According to Statscan, 67 per cent of the jobs created last year were by firms with fewer than 500 employees.” ^[2]

So it's safe to say that almost all of us fall outside of the main economic focus of the three old-line parties. That’s why the Green Party of Ontario is simply the best choice for Ontarians. Our public policy approach tackles root problems rather than treating symptoms and our economic focus is on the economy of today and tomorrow, not of yesterday.
