Statement on Kitchener-Waterloo By- election
Dear Friends,
I am pleased that Catherine Fife, the outstanding NDP candidate, has won the by-election in Kitchener-Waterloo.
The convincing win by the NDP in Kitchener-Waterloo is a clear repudiation of the McGuinty Government’s record of cynical politicking, demonizing the province’s teachers and doctors and its inept management of E-Health, Ornge air ambulance and the costly cancellation of power plants in Mississauga and Oakville to win seats in the last provincial election.
The voters of Kitchener-Waterloo agreed with Andrea Horwath and the Ontario NDP that Dalton McGuinty does not deserve a majority government.
The voters of Kitchener-Waterloo also saw Tim Hudak and the Ontario Conservatives with their unconstitutional wage freeze scheme for Ontario’s public servants as a throw-back to the Mike Harris reign of error and terror.
By electing Catherine Fife as the NDP MPP, the voters in Kitchener-Waterloo chose leadership that delivers results for everyday families. They voted for positive change that puts people first.
The NDP wants to get to work at Queen’s Park and get results for families who are worried about jobs, healthcare, and the cost of everyday life. It’s time to stop the political games and focus on the challenges facing everyday Ontarians.
Yours truly,
Brian Lynch,
President,
SDSG Provincial NDP riding association
