Ontario Legislative Assembly Ontario MPP Taras Natyshak speaks to reporters about ads placed by a group called "Vaughan Working Families" at Queen's Park in Toronto on Feb. 3, 2020. TORONTO — The provincial NDP is calling on Elections Ontario to investigate “shady” advertisements that appeared in major newspapers over the weekend. “There’s something concerning here,” NDP MPP Taras Natyshak told reporters at Queen’s Park Monday. Natyshak, who serves as his party’s ethics critic, alleges the ads break election financing rules because voters in two Ottawa ridings are set to elect new MPPs in byelections on Feb. 27. Any groups that conduct political advertising during election periods are subject to Elections Ontario rules.
