Quotes
Tom Rakocevic, NDP MPP for Humber River-Black Creek
“Frank is the kind of leader people in York Centre need to fix the things that matter, like health care and the housing crisis. People have experienced years of Liberal and Conservative funding freezes and cuts to our hospitals, home care, long-term care homes and mental health services. Frank will fight for local investment in those things, plus take the burden off families with universal mental health care, pharmacare, solutions to fix the housing crisis and a more affordable life for you.”
Frank Chu, NDP candidate for York Centre
“People in York Centre are seeing life get harder and more expensive. They’re worried about the skyrocketing cost of housing, their loved ones who need home care or live in long-term care, struggling small businesses and the impacts of the climate crisis. As a social worker, I am committed to making sure everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Liberal and Conservative cuts won’t fix what’s broken. I’m thrilled to join Andrea Horwath to fix what matters to families in York Centre.”
