We are on a mission to build a better 🇨🇦 by working with organizations to solve their most difficult public policy challenges using world class advocacy and communications support.
Let's connect: realnorthstrategies.ca
Today's news of PM Trudeau's resignation reaffirms that Ontario will (very likely) have two elections in 2025. As an association, what is your election strategy?
This week we want to share our five association election strategy tips:
1️⃣ Review Regulations: Elections in Canada (and Ontario) are heavily regulated with serious penalties for non-compliance. Before you launch your strategy - get to know the rules. For example, if your association plans on spending ad dollars or doing public opinion research during the pre-writ or writ-period it may need to register as a third-party with Elections Canada or Elections Ontario. This is a complex process that I would suggest getting legal advice on. There are also specific rules pertaining to registered lobbyists participating in elections and conflicts of interest. Check out these resources for more info:

✅ Canada: lnkd.in/gKjuMGz4
More to come!

This morning, I joined @PremierFord and @MinisterJones and my fellow Durham MPPs at @LakeridgeHealth Oshawa to announce the new Whitby Hospital along with several other significant investments into the Region of Durham's healthcare. This is what it means to #GetItDone.

Home ownership is in retreat. Governments are putting more red tape on real estate & the national policy consensus on housing is shifting.
What should the RE industry do? Three strategic opportunities:
✅ Invest in advocacy.
✅ Promote real estate professionalism.
✅ Champion home ownership.

I wrote a piece for @REM_Online that will appear tomorrow on three strategic opportunities for 🇨🇦's RE industry in '24. #staytuned
One of the contributing factors IMO is the need to respond to the ⬆️ regulation of real estate. #onpoli #realestate

Minister @SeanFraserMP delivering a strong speech for 15 mins at the @Empire_Club with no notes or prompter.
Only about 2% of politicians are able to do that. Talent level = high.

Three things from Minister @PaulCalandra's speech to the ON Housing Forum today:
1. Recommitted to 1.5 million homes by 2031
2. Signalled a doubling down on cutting red-tape
3. Struck a more collaborative tone towards municipal leaders #onpoli
