I
t has been an honour and a privilege to represent this riding over these past six years, and I’ve worked hard to make sure your voices are well represented in Ottawa. Whether it’s protecting our coast against anchorages, tackling climate change, or protecting our watersheds by getting funding for the Cowichan weir, I’ve been working hard to make sure your voices are represented in Ottawa. Indigenous rights, better agricultural policy, and effectively combating the opioids epidemic have also been top priorities for our riding. In ensuring a recovery from the global pandemic that sees our communities and small businesses bounce back stronger and prosper, I’ve been advocating for policies that will create jobs, lead to better healthcare, and build more affordable housing under the leadership of Jagmeet Singh. And now – I’m asking for your help to continue working for our community, by sending me back to Ottawa!
The past six years of Liberal government have left a lot to be desired. Since the global pandemic, it has been harder to keep up as wages stay the same, and good jobs with benefits become harder to find. The evidence of climate change is all around us, and we are rapidly running out of time for real action. But the Liberals are clinging to Stephen Harper-era climate change targets, investing billions of dollars in fossil fuels, and are committed to sinking billions more into the TMX pipeline expansion. With the climate crisis reaching irreversible stages and threatening everything we hold dear, going back to the way things were simply isn’t good enough. That’s why I need your help to take bold action on combating the climate crisis. There have been plenty of opportunities to take concrete action against stagnating wages, sky-rocketing housing costs, unaffordable childcare, stifling student debt, and ballooning prescription drug prices. Outof-pocket healthcare costs are rising, but the Liberals joined with Conservatives to defeat NDP initiatives to establish national pharmacare and dental care systems. If we want different results, we need to stop making the same failed choices in our government. We need the courage to act together, to lead us to a better place, and that is exactly what NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and I are offering to Canadians.
Alistair MacGregor, Member of Parliament 126 Ingram Street #101, Downtown Duncan
