Quotes
“From the union hall to Queen’s Park, Wayne has always fought to make the lives of working people better. Wayne has been fighting, throughout the pandemic, to make sure the voices of workers, families and small businesses in Niagara Falls were heard loud and clear. In 2022, we’re going to work together to make life better for Niagara families – that means fixing our broken health and long-term care system, investing in public education and making homes and the cost of living in Niagara more affordable.” – Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath
“I’m very proud to represent the people of Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Fort Erie at Queen’s park, and I’m grateful for the trust families in the riding have placed in me. Niagara has seen some tough times over the past two years, and as we move forward and recover we’ll need to tackle the big challenges like affordability, getting our hospital built, and fixing long-term care so our parents and grandparents get the care they deserve. Under the tireless leadership of Andrea Horwath, the NDP can form government in 2022 and invest in making Niagara an even better place to live.” – – Wayne Gates, NDP candidate for Niagara Falls
