MEET BELINDA KARAHALIOS, NEW BLUE PARTY CANDIDATE

NAME: Belinda Karahalios

RIDING: Cambridge

PARTY: The New Blue Party of Ontario

AGE: 39

OCCUPATION: Current MPP for Cambridge

RESIDENCE: Cambridge

PAST POLITICAL EXPERIENCE: Elected in 2018 as Cambridge MPP. I've advocated against a drug injection site, amalgamation and the Ford PCs abusing planning powers in Blair. My first private member's bill would have made voter fraud in internal party elections illegal (a first in Ontario's history), but the Ford PCs killed the bill.

HOW WOULD YOU GRADE THE PROVINCE'S COVID-19 RESPONSE AND WHY?: F

The Ford PCs failed all while hijacking the democratic process and silencing MPPs and others who showed any dissent. Their unprecedented use of emergency measures resulted in Ontario having the longest lockdowns in

North America. Ontarians lost their jobs, educations and careers; Ontario's economy was devastated; and the spread of COVID-19 was not curbed. Most disturbing of all, the Ford PCs neglectfully refused to expand access to early treatment for COVID-19.

IF ELECTED (RE-ELECTED), I PLEDGE TO... continue to stand on principle and stand up for my constituents and my conscience. I will continue to raise the issues that the establishment politicians don't want the voters to hear about, while travelling home every night to be a mother to my six-year-old son.
