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