BURLINGTON, ON
Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles said the Official Opposition is heading into the upcoming legislative session ready to present practical, hopeful solutions:
Ontario NDP Leader of the Opposition Marit Stiles whacking away at Premier Ford – every chance she gets.
“People across our province are facing real challenges right now. People are waiting for hours for basic healthcare, they are stuck with sky-rocketing costs of housing, and their bills are not getting any lower. We need real solutions,” said Stiles. “But this government is too wrapped up in its never-ending scandals to come up with real solutions that matter to Ontarians.
The NDP is headed into this session focused on delivering solutions to housing, health care, and the rising cost of living.
“We’ve taken on a corrupt Conservative government and forced them to reverse course on countless bad decisions. Now, they’re under a criminal investigation for selling off the Greenbelt to the highest bidder and were forced to walk back wage-suppression policies after losing twice in court. Every climbdown and policy reversal is proof that when we work together, we can win.
“This session, we’ll keep holding Ford’s Conservatives to account, while putting forward the solutions that will make people’s lives easier.”
Stiles and the NDP will champion real solutions in the legislature, from targeting the staffing shortage in hospitals and underused public hospital resources, to expediting housing—including deeply affordable housing.
The Ford government slipped in a few goodies to draw attention away from the serious affordable housing problems with building starts far less than the province needs.

David:- Ford is being investigated by the RCMP’s “sensitive and international investigations” unit for the Greenbelt land swap, yes we know Marit, you’ve said already. How about those solutions Marit are you happy that the Ontario Supreme Court overruled the elected government of Ontario? so we don’t need elections anymore? maybe you could have a word with your union pals and ask them to give us a break.
