CAMBRIDGE – Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles spoke to workers, families, and supporters about choosing a better Ontario this election. She was joined by candidates from the NDP’s strong Kitcher-Waterloo region team: Jodi Szimanski (Kitchener – Conestoga), Marjorie Knight (Cambridge), Brooklin Wallis (Kitchener Centre), Jeff Donkersgoed (Kitchener South–Hespeler) and Catherine Fife (Waterloo).
“In Kitchener-Waterloo, your vote has real power. The power to elect strong New Democrat MPPs who will fight for people and reverse seven years of Doug Ford’s neglect.
Doug Ford’s record is clear: 76,000 people in Kitchener-Waterloo without a family doctor; rent is higher than ever; and your groceries and bills for the basics are more expensive than ever. Your vote for the NDP can change that.”
As Premier, with a strong Kitchener-Waterloo team, I will fight rising costs, hire doctors, fix schools and help families get ahead.”
The Ontario NDP’s platform will help fight rising costs in Kitchener-Waterloo, it includes:
In Waterloo, Stiles toured a supportive housing complex and touted the NDP’s plan to build more housing – supportive, affordable and private market, to meet the region’s housing needs. In Kitchener South-Hespeler, she met with education workers from OSSTF to talk about improving local schools and bringing in more support for students.
