Check it’s a provincial matter

Should I write to my MPP or my MP?

Can I write to Doug Downey as minister?
Yes — Doug Downey heads the Ministry of the Attorney General, and mail about that portfolio goes to the ministry address above. Keep riding-specific casework separate: send it to the constituency office, where it's handled whether or not the member is in cabinet.
Do I need a stamp to write to Downey?
Yes — letters to provincial legislators take regular postage (the postage-free rule only applies to federal MPs in Ottawa). If you'd rather skip the stamp and printer entirely, PostPal prints and mails your letter for $6 flat.
Do I have to live in Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte to write to Downey?
No, but constituency casework is normally only taken up for residents of Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte. If you live elsewhere in Ontario, find your own MPP — or write to Downey specifically about their ministerial portfolio or an issue they've championed.
Will Doug Downey actually read and reply to my letter?
Constituency mail is logged and answered by Downey's staff, and recurring issues get flagged to the member directly. Include your return address — PostPal prints yours automatically — so the reply has somewhere to go.
