Eric Lombardi, Ontario Liberal leadership candidate and Hub contributor, discusses why he thinks Ontario is Canada’s "sick province" suffering from managed decline. He argues that large-L Liberals have abandoned small-l liberal principles like markets and merit and that his generation faces an unprecedented housing and affordability crisis. Lombardi presents his "abundance agenda"—building more housing and infrastructure, reforming health-care delivery, and reducing temporary migration—while defending against criticism that he's too conservative for the Liberal Party.
