Session recap: Stiles’ NDP fighting for the basics, Ford’s Conservatives divide and distract

QUEEN’S PARK – Marit Stiles’ Ontario NDP ended the legislative session keeping the focus on fighting for the basics and holding Ford’s Conservatives to account for wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on schemes, scandals and vanity projects.

“The people of Ontario need a government that’s in their corner and fighting for the basics: building homes, hiring doctors, fixing schools, and making life easier,” said Marit Stiles, Ontario NDP Leader.

“After 6 and half long years of Doug Ford’s Conservatives, the people of Ontario are asking themselves if their lives are any better - and the answer is an emphatic no. It’s never been clearer that our province needs change and New Democrats are ready to deliver it.”
