Quotes

NDP Deputy Leader John Vanthof

“Barbara’s leadership in the fight for public health care is exactly what families need right now after years of cuts under the Ford Conservatives and the Liberals before them. Together with Barbara, we will work together to hire more health care workers, invest in schools, and make life more affordable for the hard working people of Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock. Families can’t afford any more of Doug Ford’s cuts to their services while he enriches his buddies. It’s time for an NDP MPP you can trust to fight for you and your family, and that’s Barbara Doyle.”

Barbara Doyle, NDP candidate for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock

“I am committed to standing up for local families to ensure that they have the services they need. I have fought to defend local public health care and I will keep fighting to expand it so people and families in our communities get the care they need where and when they need it. I am determined to make life more affordable for families who have been hit hard during this pandemic with skyrocketing prices for housing, child care and some of the very basics of life. Together with Andrea Horwath and the NDP, we can have a brighter future with more access to health care, education, affordable housing, good jobs, and real action on climate change.”
