Priorities as your MPP in Queen's Park

A Commitment to Our Community

I am dedicated to being accessible to the residents of Kitchener South–Hespeler—whether that’s in person at my office, by email, or over the phone. In true Green Party fashion, I will host monthly town halls, both in-person and online, to listen to your concerns and priorities.

My promise is simple: I will represent you and our community, not special interests or personal gain.

That said, there are issues I care deeply about and believe we must take meaningful action on. Here’s my vision for a stronger, more sustainable Ontario:

A Thriving Green Economy

Ontario has an incredible opportunity to lead in clean energy and green technology. By prioritizing sustainable industries—like renewable energy, electric vehicle manufacturing, and eco-friendly infrastructure—we can create long-term, high-quality jobs while safeguarding our environment. Investing in a green economy isn’t just about sustainability; it’s about economic prosperity and innovation. Ontario can and should do more.

Environmental Protection

Protecting our natural resources—our air, water, land, and biodiversity—is essential to our future. We must take decisive action to prevent pollution, preserve ecosystems, and mitigate the impacts of climate change. The Green Party has always been a champion for the environment, and I will continue to fight for policies that ensure a healthy planet for generations to come.

Quality of Life for Everyone

A government’s role is to improve the well-being of its people. That means ensuring an accessible, high-quality healthcare system—including mental health support, pharmacare, dental, and vision care—so that no one is left behind. A better quality of life isn’t a privilege; it’s a right, and it’s a core Green Party value.

Affordable Housing

Ontario is in a housing crisis, and we need a strategy that puts people first. Affordable, energy-efficient housing should be the standard, not the exception. We must invest in sustainable housing solutions that reduce costs for residents while minimizing environmental impact. The Green Party has a plan to make this a reality.

A Carbon-Free Future

We must act decisively to achieve net-zero carbon emissions well before 2050. That means transitioning away from fossil fuels, modernizing our infrastructure, and ensuring Ontario is prepared for the increasing costs of climate disasters like floods, wildfires, and extreme storms. Investing in clean energy now will save us billions in the future.

Sustainable Transportation

Ontario needs a comprehensive transportation strategy that prioritizes electrification. Expanding EV production, investing in public transit, and upgrading infrastructure to support sustainable transportation will create jobs while reducing emissions. We have the potential to be a leader in clean transportation—let’s seize it.

Greener Buildings & Infrastructure

Our buildings—residential, commercial, and industrial—can be made more energy-efficient with better insulation, modernized heating and cooling systems, and water conservation efforts. However, building owners need incentives to make these upgrades. By investing in clean infrastructure, we can cut energy waste, reduce costs, and create jobs in the green economy.

Ontario deserves leadership that embraces the future rather than clinging to outdated, harmful policies. It’s time for bold action. It’s time for change.

I know that many of you believe in these ideas, too. I hope you will consider voting for me, on or before Feb 27th, to see these ideas put into action!
