Meet Caleb Smolenaars the Ontario NDP candidate for Oakville North–Burlington Caleb comes from a proud labour family and understands the struggles that working class families face. They organized their workplace to successfully unionize over 200 coworkers with CUPE Local 3906.

Top 100 CEOs earn an average 210 times more than the avg Cdn worker. The highest-paid CEOs took home $13.2 million in 2023.

These are the people the NDP want to hit with a wealth tax — not tradespeople nor middle income families.

How democracy was subverted to steal Ontario's public power system Ontario Hydro was part of the social commons that Premier Kathleen promised, on record, to never sell. That is, until 2015 when her government privatized 60 per cent of Hydro One.

The Ford government has been subsidizing hydro to the tune of $7 billion a year. Hydro rates increased 4% cent instead of decreasing the 12% as promised by Ford during his bid to become Premier. Ford is just too expensive. #VoteFordOut #FordIsKillingUs

Ford government carrying out social murder and eugenics Ford and his Conservative MPPs are engaged in widespread social murder and eugenics. You have one vote on February 27th. Use it wisely.

ON was to be AODA compliant by 2025, but is no where near fulfilling that mandate in the healthcare system; at elementary, secondary & post-secondary schools; provincial parks; Queen’s Park and the list goes on ad infinitum. #FordIsKillingUs #DJNO
