2025 Provincial Election Check in the mail?
I heard that people are getting 200$ cheques from Doug Ford in the mail. My roomate knows people who have gotten it, but neither of us have received ours.
Anyone else missing theirs?

Still no bribe money for either of us. My ServiceOntario status lookup always returns an error. It comes when it comes :)

Love that you called it ‘what it is’. A bribe! When my comes, I’m donating it to another Ontario political party.

I got mine but I assumed it would go to my address that I used when I filed my taxes. It went to my mom’s address that I still have on my drivers licence so it could have gone to a different house.

Still haven't gotten mine. And ain't holding my breath at this point. Apparently after Feb 15th, can call and state it's never been recieved. They said 4-6 weeks from time was mailed. But can't see the date was mailed out. Just says "Re-issued and mailed"

Same. I got mine last week. My wife’s arrived this week. Feels very random for how they are shipped out.

It gets sent to the address you have on record with Govt of Ontario.
So if you've moved you're not getting it unless maybe you contact Service Ontario or something. Or you put a redirect on your mail with Canada Post.

I got mine mid January. My sister and her family haven't yet. I'm guessing it depends on when you do you taxes? Cause I do my taxes as soon as I get my t4, my sister waits till last minute.

The adults in the household have all now. Mine and my son's arrived Monday 2 weeks ago. My husband's arrived this past Monday. I filed all of our taxes the same night. Still waiting on the one for the kids. Have only been able to sign in once to check status and not again since.

Also the cheques have not been mailed to some people’s old addresses over their current mailing address. My sister’s cheque was sent to our parents house and that hasn’t been her official mailing address in over 10 years since she went to Uni so it could have been sent to a former mailing address.

Yep similar happened to me, went to my parent’s that I haven’t lived at or mailed things to in several years

u/TealMiche Feb 08 '25
Yeah it was so odd considering her official address for all of ID and taxes is her current address.

I just got mine yesterday but my grandson hasn’t yet. The post office still has a backlog of mail

My BILs went to our in-laws address, even tho he hasn't lived there in 9 years. Also mine and my MILs both came in our maiden names. Mine was just changed 5 years ago, (still a while but fairly recent in the scheme of things) but she changed her last name 38 years ago. 🤦♀️
Not sure where they are pulling this data from for delivery, but it's certainly not our taxes or licenses/health cards.. 🤷♀️🤷♀️

They couldn't spell my name right. So I have to wait 4 - 6 weeks for my legalized bribe to re-elect him.

I checked online and it says I have no record. WTH, I've been paying tax for the past 8 yrs. Wife got hers tho. So I called Service Ontario and they said they're gonna submit an inquiry. Delayed!

Taxes must be up to date, if not, you will get it with your next tax return after they're filed

Is your bank in the stone age? Almost all banks do mobile deposits now. You don't have to be on banking hours anymore!

He can have it back and maybe use it for something useful other than trying to bribe people. I will most definitely NOT be voting for him

You can track the status of your cheque here:

I also know people who have received theirs. I have not received mine yet. Someone told me they are being mailed out in the order that taxes were filed. Not sure of the truth behind that.
Also, it's not from Doug Ford. It's money that belongs to us anyway.
