Marit Stiles takes on Ford and wins debate, shows Ontario she’s on their side

TORONTO – Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles brought her vision for a better future to the debate stage this evening, where she took on Doug Ford and his record of failing the people of Ontario.

Stiles’ debate-winning performance proves once again that she will be a Premier who is on your side to build homes, hire doctors, fix schools, and fight rising costs.

"Today, Doug Ford had to face his record. He had seven years to fix hallway health care, to build homes, to fix our schools – but he failed. This is his third election making the same stale promises to the people of Ontario and we cannot trust him to fix what he broke.

Ontario can be so much more. Decades of Conservative and Liberal governments have failed to invest in the things that matter the most.

But as Premier, I will. I will hire doctors, so you can get care when and where you need it. I will fix schools, so our kids are set up for success. I will build homes, bring back real rent control, and put money back into your pocket. Because I’m on your side.”
