Liberals won’t fix problems they created

TORONTO — Steven Del Duca’s platform races the Conservatives to eliminate deficits – and people would pay the price.

Under Del Duca, the Liberals are again in a race with the Conservatives to balance the budget at the expense of investments desperately needed to help save people money — like making sure you’re covered for mental health, dental care and prescription drugs.

The Liberal platform has no help for people paying sky-high auto insurance, and no improvements for Ontario’s broken health care and mental health care systems.

Steven Del Duca said he thought his Liberals had been too progressive, but what does he think is progressive?

• leaving 20,000 Ontarians on wait lists for long-term care
• eliminating 1,600 nursing jobs
• breaking their promise to restore “real rent control”
• letting the school repair backlog triple
• letting hydro rates skyrocket and selling off Hydro One
• taking supports away from children with autism

Del Duca’s platform relies on made-up federal money, and it hides what he will cut to beat Doug Ford to a balanced budget. He needs to tell people what he’ll cut.
