Burlington MPP Natalie Pierre has announced that she will not seek re-election in the next provincial election.

“It has been an honour and a privilege to represent Burlington at Queen’s Park and to work with Premier Ford and the Ontario PC caucus to deliver results for my community,” Pierre said. “After careful consideration, I believe the time is right to step aside. My commitment to our community will not waiver and I will continue to work hard and serve the people of Burlington for the balance of my term.”
Known more for her photo ops than for anything substantial in the Legislature
Her decision to announce that she won’t seek re-election at this time allows the Ontario PC Party sufficient time to select a new candidate and prepare for the next general election.
The Ontario PC Party extends its gratitude to MPP Pierre for her dedication and service.
Natalie was known more for her photo-ops than for anything substantive done in the legislature.
When we first met her we thought we saw a sincere level of empathy and hoped that she would be a force for changes at the provincial level.
Her time as a politician is not something she will forget; a decent well-meaning individual in a world where decency isn’t a useful skill set.
I have lived through many MPP’s here and she was the least effective and most invisible.
One very important contribution Natalie made to our community was that she contacted the Minister of Infrastructure when the berm collapsed on the 407 causing devastation to many homes in the Cavendish area. Thank you to Natalie for being present and taking action.
At a recent fundraising event for Natalie, the Hon. David Piccini spoke about Natalie’s integrity. This is a quality that is admirable and it may have made it difficult for Natalie to serve our constituents?
Perhaps those that are funding the PC campaign are lacking the number of votes to re-elect the local candidates in their constituencies?
