Quotes
Andrea Horwath, Leader of the Ontario NDP:
“Farheen Alim’s years of dedicated service to working people, youth and families in her community are exactly what people in Etobicoke-Lakeshore need after years of Doug Ford’s deep cuts to health care and education. Ford failed to protect children in schools or vulnerable seniors in long-term care throughout the pandemic. He has allowed small businesses to go under during COVID-19 and failed to give frontline workers the decent wages they deserve. We need Farheen on our team to fight for fair and dignified lives for working people, and champion those who have long been marginalized."
Farheen Alim, NDP candidate for Etobicoke-Lakeshore:
“I am so proud to call South Etobicoke home, and it is my deepest honour to represent my neighbours in this election. Together, I know we can do better for everyone in this community. We have suffered from years of Doug Ford's cuts to health care and education, and his low-wage policy has hurt our families while the cost of everything is rising. I am so excited to join Andrea Horwath in pushing for the supports local businesses, workers, and families need, and to make our province a fairer, more equitable and affordable place to live."
