[4] LeadershipOntario Proud was founded by Jeff Ballingall, a former political staffer who previously worked for Sun News Network.[1][5] Ballingall worked in the administration of Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, working as a video specialist for the Conservative Caucus and as a communications manager for Jim Prentice.[6] Jeff Ballingall is also the founder of Mobilize Media Group LTD. which promotes media for Ontario Proud. [7] As of August 2018, he has been one-third owner of The Nectarine, a digital news platform.[8] The director is currently Ryan O’Connor.[9] Nicolas Spoke is also a current company officer. [10] ActivitiesOntario Proud was active during the 2018 Ontario provincial elections, attacking liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, later shifting its focus to NDP candidate Andrea Horwath as the NDP rose in the polls.[1][9][11] The group spent approximately $60,000 on television ads and engaged in door-to-door canvasing.[6] The group is reportedly very active in social media marketing, particularly on Facebook, where it used microtargeting.[12] Ontario Proud may have helped defeat Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government in Ontario.[13] In the lead up to the election, Ballingall boasted that “Ontario Proud's Facebook content was viewed almost 67 million times — more interactions than the Facebook pages of the three main parties, their leaders, the unions and all other political advocacy groups combined.”[14] Ontario Proud has been criticized for blocking users who comment on their Facebook page in support of NDP or Liberal candidates. Ontario Proud has also frequently threatened legal action against critics.[15] The group has announced its intentions to target Prime Minister Justin Trudeau going forward.[9][16] Jeff Ballingall established a similar "BC Proud" Facebook page to target elections in British Columbia, and is attempting to start another site to target Quebec.[17] Sister pages have also been established in Alberta and New Brunswick.[18] FinancingAccording to Ontario Proud, it is financed by donations from approximately 1,300 Canadian donors.[9] In June 2017, founder Jeff Ballingall stated that Ontario Proud had cost $5,000 to that point.[19] By April of 2018 Ontario Proud was appealing for funding from various business groups including members of the Ontario General Contractors Association (OCGA).[20] A cached copy of the fundraising appeal that was posted on the OCGA website showed that Ontario Proud was looking for up to $700,000 to fully fund its election strategy.[20] While the OCGA encourages its members to be politically active, a spokesperson for the organization stated that OCGA itself has never donated to Ontario Proud.[20] On December 11, 2018 financial disclosures showed that, of the over half million dollars of funding that Ontario Proud received, the majority ($460,000) had come from corporate donations.[21][22][23] Out of the corporate donations over 89 percent of them came from companies involved in the development and construction industries.[21] The five largest donations were from: Mattamy Homes ($100,000), Merit Ontario ($50,000), Nashville Developments ($50,000),[21][22][23] Opportunities Asia Ltd. ($30,000),and Shiplake Properties Limited ($25,000).[21][23] Seventeen other companies, mostly related to housing development, also donated $10,000 each.[21][23] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-who-is-ontario-proud-and-why-is-it-texting-you/ |first=Jack |last=Hauen |date=June 5, 2018 |publisher=The Globe and Mail |title=Who is Ontario Proud and why is it texting you?}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.facebook.com/pg/OntarioProud/about/?ref=page_internal |publisher=Facebook |author=Ontario Proud |quote=Started on February 26, 2016 |access-date=June 16, 2018 |archive-url=https://archive.li/OjzWt |archive-date=June 17, 2018 |title=Ontario Proud}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Ontario Proud |url=https://www.ontarioproud.ca/ontario_proud_launches_first_tv_ads |publisher=Ontario Proud |date=April 9, 2018 |quote=Airing the ads will be the first foray into traditional media for Ontario Proud, which began in February 2016 as a single Facebook page promoting Ontario culture and criticizing the negative impact of the policies of Premier Kathleen Wynne and her Ontario Liberal government on the province. |archive-url=https://archive.li/Z5z8s |archive-date=June 17, 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.companiesofcanada.com/company/1010260-1/ontario-proud|title=ONTARIO PROUD - CANADA|website=www.companiesofcanada.com|language=en|access-date=2018-11-07}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/how-a-lone-wolf-operative-is-shaping-ontarios-political-discourse/article37596971/ |title=This lone-wolf operative is shaping Ontario’s political discourse |first=Adam |last=Radwanski |date=June 16, 2018 |publisher=The Globe and Mail}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |publisher=Maclean's |title=The two ex-political staffers behind the Ontario election’s most digital-savvy outside groups |date=May 28, 2018 |first=Tom |last=Yun |url=https://www.macleans.ca/politics/the-two-ex-political-staffers-behind-the-ontario-elections-most-digital-savvy-outside-groups/}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.companiesofcanada.com/company/1010260-1/ontario-proud|title=ONTARIO PROUD - CANADA|website=www.companiesofcanada.com|language=en|access-date=2018-11-07}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/JeffBallingall/status/1030193057520480256|title=1/3 owned by me|last=Ballingall|first=Jeff|date=2018-08-16|website=@JeffBallingall|language=en|access-date=2018-12-13}} 9. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |url=https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/ontario-proud-the-right-wing-facebook-giant-in-ontarios-election-eyes-federal-election-involvement |publisher=National Post |title=Ontario Proud, the right-wing Facebook giant in Ontario's election, eyes federal election involvement |first=Brian |last=Platt |date=June 4, 2018}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.companiesofcanada.com/company/1010260-1/ontario-proud|title=ONTARIO PROUD - CANADA|website=www.companiesofcanada.com|language=en|access-date=2018-11-07}} 11. ^{{cite news |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/4250641/pcs-liberals-targeted-ndp/ |quote=Starting in early May, the Ontario Proud Facebook page started to publish posts targeting the NDP.
