On June 2, Ontarians will head to the polls, for a vote that will decide what our communities of today and tomorrow will look like.</p>
<p style="color:#252A36;font-family:Sans Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;margin:10px 0;padding:0;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left;">For decades, successive Ontario governments have put corporate interests ahead of the needs of people in the province. Developers, land speculators, extractive industries, and big corporations have succeeded in tipping the scale of policymaking to line their pockets – through extensive political donations, lobbying, PR campaigns, and revolving-door relationships with decision-makers. </p>
<p style="color:#252A36;font-family:Sans Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;margin:10px 0;padding:0;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left;">This corporate agenda has been on full display under Doug Ford. His government has weakened and privatized health care services, deregulated environmental protection, railroaded progress on climate action, and undermined democracy.</p>

Just weeks before, the Ford government had cut flood management funding and weakened Conservation Authorities. I also knew we deserve better when he lifted the public health measures that could have protected my unvaccinated toddler from COVID-19, in the name of business. This government’s priority has always been to make his corporate friends richer, no matter the cost.</p>
<p style="color:#252A36;font-family:Sans Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;margin:10px 0;padding:0;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left;">But communities across Ontario are fighting back. This past weekend, we joined workers, labour allies, and community groups in a province-wide day of action to say loud and clear to every candidate who wants our vote that they must commit to investing in public services, sustainable and affordable communities, and ambitious climate action.</p>
