You know the status quo isn’t working or you. You know it’s time or change. It’s your chance to demand the Ontarioyou want.In this election, you can stick with the same tired ideasthat you know aren’t working, that make your lie moreexpensive, and your province less air…… or you can pick change that puts people rst. When my ather came to Canada rom the ormerCzechoslovakia, it was a dierent time in Ontario. It wasa time when a man like my Dad could land a job that he’dhold or most o his lie. My Mother could work part-timecleaning instead o two ull-time jobs. It was a time whensomeone like me, the daughter o an autoworker, could getan education without taking on a mountain o debt.Every generation wants to improve lie or their amilies.I know I want to see a world o opportunity open up ormy son. But i we’re going to do that we need change inOntario. Although there are some signs o recovery on the horizon,economists are warning o a long period o sluggish growth.People have lost jobs and savings and amilies are eelingthe squeeze, especially middle income amilies. Aterination is taken into account the average worker hasn’tseen a raise in two decades. Most people are struggling toget by with less.But some are doing better than ever. I you’re one o Canada’s top 100 CEOs you collected more pay by January 3rd at 3pm than the average person earns in a year. You never voted or this, but it keeps happening. Te unairHS made your daily essentials like hydro, gasoline andhome heating more expensive while banks and insurancecompanies got a tax break.Seniors and their amilies are waiting longer and payingmore to get the care they need while healthcare CEOscollect six-gure salaries.
