Premier Ford: Keep Your Promise - Stop Home Service Scams


Premier Ford: Keep Your Promise - Stop Home Service Scams
The Issue
Canadians lose billions every year to home service scams. Families lose their savings. Seniors get exploited. Vulnerable people have nowhere to turn.
Last week, Premier Ford promised action: "I can't stand when you say there's nothing that can be done. We've got to protect them."
We agree, Premier. Now deliver.
Only 11% of victims report to police because they feel it does nothing, they're confused about how to report, and many fear retaliation from contractors. Victims feel embarrassed, intimidated, and emotionally defeated, leading to anxiety and depression. At its worst, financial devastation and mental breakdowns. Meanwhile, bad contractors continue to operate unimpeded, finding new victims every day.
Ontario families need protection before they lose their life savings, not after. The solutions exist. The expertise exists. All that's missing is government action.
Premier Ford made a promise on camera to protect Ontario families from home service scams. Thousands of families are waiting. The media is watching. The opposition is demanding answers.
Premier Ford, you said there's no excuse for inaction. We agree. Now prove it. Fund consumer scam prevention and deliver on your promise to protect Ontario families.
