For the last six years, the people of Ontario have suffered under an uncaring Conservative government led by an out-of-touch multimillionaire: Doug Ford.
Ford’s government has lurched from one scandal to the next, and the common thread has been screwing workers while giving their rich and powerful friends—billionaires like Galen Weston and developers who’ve profited from the high cost of housing—a whole lot more money they don’t need.
Doug Ford’s PC government had, all the power and resources they needed, but they’ve failed to use these to do any good:
-
Taking a page from the Liberal’s Bill 115 playbook, Ford Conservatives brought in the illegal Bill 124, pushing your wages down while the cost of living skyrocketed.
-
Ford Conservatives brought in Bill 28, forcing a contract filled with concessions on Ontario’s lowest-paid education workers, only backing down when CUPE-OSBCU workers went on strike and other workers across the province threatened a general strike in support.
-
Ford Conservatives even scrapped the Liberals’ insufficient two paid sick days for all workers and replaced them with three unpaid sick days—even when doctors and other healthcare workers said the COVID-19 pandemic made it clear all workers need at least 14 paid sick days per year so people don’t go to work ill.
It’s time for a government that will run Ontario for the many, not the few.
Every time the Ford Conservatives have screwed you and your coworkers, Ontario NDP Official Opposition MPPs have been there to fight back with you and demand something better for us all.
That’s because New Democrats have been real workers and union members before running for office: Jill Andrew and Chris Glover, CUPE members; Jamie West, a Steelworker; Wayne Gates, an autoworker; Jennifer French, a teacher. They and their fellow NDP MPPs use the power that voters give them to help workers like you and me, not rich bosses.
This election, use your vote to fire Ford, elect the NDP, and finally get ahead.
