Pharmacare, tax freeze and health-care spending feature in Ontario NDP platform

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath released the platform today, saying it is taking practical steps to make life more affordable.

If elected in June, the New Democrats say they will move ahead with providing drug coverage for Ontarians before the federal Liberal government moves on its plan, starting by covering a baseline of 125 medications. The party says it will also work to “accelerate” the proposed federal dental coverage plan and expand it to cover more people.

The NDP also promises to hire 10,000 personal support workers and give them a raise, as well as hire 30,000 nurses, 400 doctors and specialists for northern Ontario and expedite credential recognition for 15,000 internationally trained nurses.Monday's platform release also updated a previous NDP announcement on housing, and now targets building 100,000 social housing units for $493 million annually, and 60,000 supportive housing units for $100 million annually.

Will the new NDP signs be in Red ?

NDP shouldn’t even exist 🤡

The NDP refining their election platform at the public trough

Seriously who cares?

Out of her league. NDP need to make a change in that role ASAP.

Seniors gets no increase what so ever in there income

Prediction: Ontario will reject Andrea Horwath and her r2022 election platform and the NDP will still keep her on as leader.

Is she still even relevant

Why PSWs? We're hemorrhaging RNs. We need registered staff to be better compensated and respected before our health care system implodes.

Although no chance in winning herself what I did realize today is that should the Conservative Party not get their majority government Andrea will immediately be a part of Del Duca's Liberals in the same fashion that Jagmeet is joined at the hips to Trudeau. Isn't that cute 🤢

White guys with dreadlocks and hemp shirts must be thrilled.

WHAT ABOUT PWD?

20000 more teachers,making who knows how much and mega benefits? Whose paying for all this Andrea? Ontarians that's who.

Platform 🙄🤣

Whose Gonna pay for all this?
