Mr. Ford’s election platform will do very little for the environment, seniors care, and affordability.

Last week, our party announced that we will prioritize seniors in Ontario if elected. Frankly, I’m very proud of that platform piece.?

The last two years have been particularly hard on seniors and families. I know this because my father has late-stage dementia. Our family had worked hard to keep him at home, close to my mother, but as her own health deteriorated, we made the heart-wrenching decision to admit my father to a long-term care facility. That was the most painful decision our family ever had to make.?

My dad, who taught me to play catch as a kid, helped me through both college and university, assisted me with home renovations only a few years ago, could now barely remember who I was. After a few months in a long-term care facility, we brought Dad back home because we couldn’t bare the thought of keeping him in a small room, isolated, alone with strangers, and with no meaningful activity.?

There was a point in time during the pandemic when I could not visit my mom or dad because they were hospitalized. That too was painful. The staff caring for my parents were true heroes, but they were powerless to help families who were desperate to see their loved ones. As a neuropsychologist, I’ve heard similar stories and have cared for my share of seniors in shelters.?

I know that Ontario can and must do better. That is why I am proud to serve on the provincial Liberal healthcare policy team. Our team has worked incredibly hard on our part of the Liberal platform. Our proposed policies will ensure that everything possible is done to allow seniors to remain at home, in the familiarity of their surroundings, neighbourhood, friends, and family. This means having robust support at home for as long as possible. When long-term care and end-of-life care are necessary, we want those supports provided in a manner that preserves individual dignity. It also means rebuilding and strengthening our health care workforce so it is there for those that need it. I invite you to learn more about our plan and you can be the judge come election day:?https://ontarioliberal.ca/elder-care-plan/.

Our plan does not stop there. We know that affordability is a growing problem and we’re committed to making it easier for Ontarians. Whether it is accessing affordable daycare, before and aftercare, or 1$ Go Transit and TTC rides until 2024 - we have you covered. Affordable transit will help so many people in York Region and throughout Ontario. It will assist persons experiencing homelessness to travel to their medical appointments, get cars off highways thus reducing traffic congestion, and best of all, Ontarians will be able to save money for food, rent, and other important things.?
