Before 2021 , third parties in Ontario could spend up to $600,000 on advertising in the six months before a provincial election call.

Premier Doug Ford ’s government stretched that restricted spending period to one year while keeping the spending limit the same.

Critics said it amounted to the government trying to silence criticism ahead of the 2022 provincial election.

Teachers’ unions challenged the law, which was struck down by a lower court.
