Statement from NDP Leader Andrea Horwath
This election is about change for the better. And it’s never been more possible.
Let’s come together. Let’s stop Doug Ford’s cutting and privatizing plan in its tracks. Let’s fix our health care system, have dental coverage for everyone and make life more affordable for families. Let’s come together, and make change for the better happen.
Kathleen Wynne has abandoned the fight against Doug Ford cuts. And her request today for a minority government is a demand that she be allowed to continue to hold the power at Queen’s Park – something voters have already rejected.
But she is playing a dangerous game. Liberal votes won’t result in a minority – they’ll result in a Doug Ford majority. And we can’t afford Ford.
We can’t afford Ford’s deep cuts, mass layoffs and privatizing sell-offs to pay for tax cuts for the rich. We can’t afford to wait longer for health care, and pay more for the basics like transit. And we can’t afford to send our children to even more crowded schools with even fewer teachers.
Now, a vote for Kathleen Wynne and a vote for Doug Ford mean the same thing. Let’s not go from bad to worse. It’s time for a change for the better.
