NDP building momentum and taking the fight to Ford

TORONTO - Three days of momentum for Marit Stiles as she hits the campaign trail: taking the fight to Ford and sharing her plan for a government on your side.

LAUNCH: Excitement in Toronto’s Regent Park as Marit made her case for Premier. She’s not letting Ford off the hook for his record of bad deals - Ontario Place, Beer Store, Greenbelt - and 7 years of making life harder in Ontario.

Quotes:

“Ford has shown he can’t negotiate his way out of a paper bag. Is he the guy for the job? Doug Ford standing up to Trump? I say hell no.”

“It’s time for a premier who’s on your side. It’s time to choose a better Ontario.”

BLUE-ORANGE BATTLEGROUNDS: Marit is wasting no time. She’s driven head-on into blue seats to flip them orange in her new tariff-busting bus.

York South-Weston, Kitchener-Conestoga, Essex, Windsor-Tecumseh. She’s hearing from farmers, auto workers, communities tired of Ford’s failures. And she’s pledging to protect them from Trump’s tariffs - and fight back hard.

Quote:

“As a little girl growing up on our family farm, I learned to never, ever, back down from bullies. So we’re going to fight. Just like we did when we fought Ford on the Greenbelt. We fought back, and we won.”

CA$H: Votes of confidence keep rolling in as the NDP raised over $1.3 million in January – a notoriously challenging post-holiday fundraising month. Regular folks are chipping in to win a better Ontario: the average donation was $119.74.
