MEET STEPHEN KITRAS, NEW BLUE CANDIDATE

NAME: Stephen Kitras

RIDING: Wellington-halton Hills

PARTY: New Blue Party of Ontario

OCCUPATION: Business owner

RESIDENCE Montrose

PAST POLITICAL EXPERIENCE: I have been the Ward 5 Councillor in Centre Wellington for two terms since 2014. I have a very strong reputation for pursuing transparency and accountability for taxpayers and residents, from challenging nestle about water extraction to attainable housing, proposing new economic development and its financing, community mental health and hospitality.

HOW WOULD YOU GRADE THE PROVINCE'S COVID-19 RESPONSE,

AND WHY?

Doug Ford's public health response was D-. In my opinion, he covered up for his predecessor Conservative Premier Mike Harris, privatizing the long-term care system because Mike Harris is the chair of the board of directors of the largest private company and could have been liable because of a disproportionately high number of COVID cases and deaths that happened there, but three of the largest for-profit nursing homes paid $1.5 billion in dividends to shareholders over the last decade.

IF ELECTED, WHAT DO YOU PLEDGE TO DO?

If elected, I pledge to stand up for ordinary working Ontarians, challenge the dismal statusquo left, and move in the right direction for all Ontarians. I am dedicated to eliminating medical discrimination caused by overreaching governments and absolutely no digital passports for our future.
