With Ontario’s election campaign set to kick off in earnest, the Progressive Conservatives are touting the release of their party platform in 17 different languages.

In addition to English and French, a condensed version of the party’s “changebook” can be read in Arabic, Farsi, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Polish, Punjabi, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Tagalog, Tamil, Traditional Chinese, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Vietnamese.

“If you read about this in Farsi, if you read about it in Hindi, if you read about it in Polish or Korean, you're going to like what you read,” said PC Leader Tim Hudak.

As CBC provincial affairs reporter Mike Crawley reports, the PCs are trying to target some of the same voters in Toronto-area ridings that helped propel the federal Conservatives to a majority government in May.

Karen Sun runs the Chinese Canadian National Council's Toronto chapter. She said providing the platform in a variety of languages will likely appeal to “a good chunk of the community that are still stalwart Trudeau Liberals."

The Liberals are expected to unveil their party’s platform early next week. The NDP is calling their “Plan For Affordable Change” document, which is posted on the party’s website, a partial platform which will be filled out in more detail during the campaign.

An NDP spokesperson told CBC News they plan to release campaign literature in multiple languages, but will tailor the language availability to specific ridings.
