Ontario is the most populous province in Canada and perhaps the most complex. It encompasses a range of regions, cities, and local cultures, while also claiming a long-standing pre-eminence in Canadian federalism. The second edition of The Politics of Ontario aims to understand this unique and ever-changing province.

The new edition captures the growing diversity of Ontario, with new chapters on race and Ontario politics, Black Ontarians, and the relationship of Indigenous Peoples and Ontario. With contributors from across the province, the book analyses the political institutions of Ontario, key areas such as gender, Northern Ontario, the intricate Ontario political economy, and public policy challenges with the environment, labour relations, governing the GTA, and health care. Completely refreshed from the earlier edition, it emphasizes the evolution of Ontario and key public policy challenges facing the province. In doing so, The Politics of Ontario provides readers with a thorough understanding of this complicated province.

Cheryl N. Collier is a professor of political science and Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at the University of Windsor.

Jonathan Malloy is a professor of political science and the Honourable Dick and Ruth Bell Chair in Canadian Parliamentary Democracy at Carleton University.

“The new edition of The Politics of Ontario covers the major trends in Canadian political science, with a strong focus on inclusion and diversity. The book’s updated material reflects shifts in Ontario under the Ford government and the impact of COVID-19, making it an essential resource for classrooms.” Tim Fowler, Brock University

“The Politics of Ontario presents chapters with a good overall feel of diversity of thought and objectivity. This new edition is an excellent resource in an area in which there is relatively little current materials in the political science literature.” Robert Jonasson, Western University

“The Politics of Ontario is the only book of its kind. The main challenge of teaching Ontario politics is keeping abreast of changes in the provincial government and relations with federal governance, which allows students to find immediate relevance in the text. In focusing on the Ford government, this new edition ensures up-to-date coverage. Cheryl N. Collier and Jonathan Malloy have done a wonderful job of bringing such excellent scholars together in this well-organized and intuitive text.” Toby Rollo, Lakehead University
