TED HSU CANDIDATE for MPP

Strong Economy
Strong Social Fabric

Today AND Tomorrow

TED HSU
Candidate for MPP
Kingston and the Islands
Ontario Liberal Party

As my kids and their young friends have grown up and become aware of their world, they tell me how worried they are.

They believe they are inheriting all our problems but not the resources to deal with them. Looking at the human and economic costs of the pandemic, automation and artificial intelligence transforming jobs, the long road to social justice, and the arrival of climate change and its consequences, I can’t blame them for being worried.

I am running because I want to make sure our economy and social fabric are strong enough that we have the resources to support and protect the people of Ontario, today AND tomorrow.

The Issues

Strong Economy

Helping businesses create productive jobs is a priority. Kingston and Ontario need representatives with business experience who enjoy the challenges of business, finance, and workforce development.

Climate Crisis

Experience being a climate action leader in Kingston will help Ted lead Ontario in promoting a greener economy, including electric vehicles, energy retrofits for buildings, energy storage, and industry emissions cuts, as well as the training, regulations and infrastructure needed to make these happen.

Health and Wellness

Kingston residents must be able to find a local family doctor. The MPP must know how to provide the political support called for in the 2020 Kingston Region Physician Review Report.
Government must fix long term care, after immediate deficiencies are addressed, by introducing not-for-profit, community-based alternatives, and stay-at-home supports, and by facilitating lifestyle changes for seniors.
Our MPP should ensure that political leaders support our new local Ontario Health Team as it coordinates local partners to not only deliver, but improve, services for health and wellness.

Housing Affordability

Lack of housing is still critical, especially for lower income households. It undermines the social safety net in Kingston and hurts our ability to attract talent and good businesses to Kingston. Government needs to fund more affordable housing, and Ontario crown land in Kingston should be released for housing.

Education

Education is a proven investment and is central to Kingston's economy. In today’s fast moving world, education is a necessity to meet the changing demands of life, work, and citizenship. Supporting all avenues of education that are life long and integrated into our society is the way to prepare for tomorrow.
