Quotes

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath
“Terence has been a terrific advocate for Londoners, fighting Doug Ford’s cuts to public education and pushing for homes people can afford as Ontario’s housing crisis gets worse. As the NDP gears up to govern in 2022, we are committed to making life better for London families. Together, we’ll overhaul long-term care so seniors can look forward to better quality of life as they age and roll out our plan for homes people can afford.”

I look forward to championing our community and continuing to fight for ​the health and well-being of all Londoners. Andrea Horwath is offering people hope with the NDP’s pledge to help families buy their first home with down payment cash, including right here in London, and protecting seniors from the greedy corporations that are profiting off of long-term care at their expense.”
