Read this letter from Marit Stiles:

"I love this province, friend. And I will stop at nothing to make life better for everyone that calls Ontario home. Everywhere I go, I hear the same stories. Parents working more hours than they ever have, yet facing the stress of providing for their families. Homeowners worried about their next mortgage payment, renters saving up just to pay rent on time, students working between classes to afford tuition.

Every story shared with me is a responsibility I take seriously. They guide every decision I make, and ground my resolve to fight for every Ontarian, no matter where they live, no matter where they work, and no matter their circumstances.

Friend, hearing the stories, the struggles, and the dreams of Ontarians across the province, and knowing they're being overlooked is not just disappointing—it's personal.

As Premier, I would take action to immediately:

• Invest in publicly funded, publicly delivered healthcare to make sure everyone can access the care they need, when they need it.
• Tackle the housing crisis by building 250,000 non-market and affordable homes on public land to make the dream of homeownership attainable for young Ontarians, and bring back rent control.
• Champion the fight against climate change and help people save money with support for home energy retrofits and energy-efficient heat pumps.
• Boost funding for public schools and make post-secondary education more accessible, giving our children and youth the best start in life.
• Raise ODSP and OW rates to lift people out of legislated poverty, because everyone deserves to live with dignity.

Friend, the pursuit of a better future is what drives us, as New Democrats. I'll leave you with this, building a better Ontario takes courage and compassion. The courage to take bold, decisive action, and the compassion to do it now, to do it well, and to do it right."
