Quotes
Faisal Hassan, NDP MPP for York South-Weston
“Hal is just the kind of leader people in Willowdale need to fix the things that matter, from the housing crisis to health care to our children’s education. Years of Liberal and Conservative cuts have left our hospitals overcrowded and understaffed. Hal will fight for local investment in those things, plus take the burden off families with universal mental health care, pharmacare, solutions to fix the housing crisis and a more affordable life for you.”
Dr. Hal David Berman, NDP candidate for Willowdale
“People in Willowdale are seeing life get harder and less affordable. They’re worried about the rising cost of everything from housing to hydro, their loved ones who need home care or live in long-term care and the impacts of the climate crisis. As a palliative care physician, I have seen firsthand the impacts of Liberal and Conservative cuts to our hospitals, mental health services, home care and long-term care. I am committed to fighting for people in Willowdale to fix what matters most to families.”
