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

AND WHY?

A. The Ford government responded to this unprecedented global crisis by making the difficult decisions on the advice of medical experts, which has resulted in outstanding vaccine rates, and a solid re-opening plan with the health of Ontarians in mind.

The programs delivered to small business, and costs which were cut in gas taxes, hydro rates and rebating fees has been enormously helpful to the province.

IF RE-ELECTED, I PLEDGE TO: bring a new perspective to Queen's Park as an experienced business person who knows how to create jobs and focus on the continued rebuilding of Ontario's economy.

We will focus on the needs of our workers, keeping costs down, and investing in infrastructure here in Niagara Centre.

A pressing matter for our generation would definitively be climate change because at the end of the day we have one planet. -Renee Jasinskas, Welland

I want politicians to work more on the economy. I find prices for housing being too high, tuition too expensive. I think these things need to be settled before students go into university and pay and go into school debt. -Liam Isherwood, Welland
