Quotes

Ottawa Centre NDP MPP Joel Harden
“In Gabriel, families in Orléans have a champion who will work for them for a change. Years of Liberal and Conservative governments have broken what matters most to families as hallway health care grows and home care and long-term care have become a nightmare. We need Gabriel to join our NDP team to undo the damage and rebuild our health care system and our schools and support our struggling local businesses. With Gabriel on our team, we can help make life more affordable for families Orléans and help people recover from the pandemic.”

Gabriel Bourdon, NDP candidate for Orléans
“I love Orléans. I grew up here and I’m raising my family here. I want to make life better for my neighbours today, and the future brighter for my kids. That means investing in the public services that we depend on. As the next MPP for Orléans I will fight for better healthcare and senior care. Seniors deserve to live with dignity and care no matter the size of their bank account. Health care workers deserve respect and a government that will respond to their needs. And everyone deserves to access healthcare when and where they need it without having to pull out their credit card. It is time to reverse the damage done to health care, home care and long-term care under the Liberals and Conservatives. It is time for an NDP government that will reinvest in our public health care system.”
