The second application deadline is in six days on Tuesday, February 1st, at 5pm.

We need a candidate for each of the following 30 ridings, identified in the image below. We do not expect candidates to leave their jobs to run and a candidate does not need to live in the riding in which they run.

A day after Belinda challenged the Doug Ford PC government (click here to watch) for propping up Justin Trudeau's continuation of "emergency" measures, Trudeau announced that the he was ending the federal measures. And as one would expect of Trudeau's loyal follower, Ford simultaneously announced he was ending his most recent declaration of a "state of emergency" for Ontario.

This was evidence of grassroots democracy making a difference.

It can force even the most out of touch authoritarian politicians, like Trudeau and Ford, to backpedal, even if it is only from time to time.

Unfortunately, yesterday wasn't all good news.

The Ontario government shut down 39 trucking businesses, without due process, that they claim were involved in the Ottawa protests pursuant to Doug Ford's emergency measures.

As a result of Bill 195, passed two years ago which Belinda voted against (the only current or former PC MPP to do so), Ford can continue using emergency measures even after a "state of emergency" has ended.

Our platform (the New Blueprint) will call for full restitution for those impacted by the emergency measures taken by the Trudeau and Ford governments.

I can't wait until we share with you the entirety of the New Blueprint and the names and bios of our 94 candidates! Stay tuned.

We must keep moving forward.

There is more work to be done.

Only by continuing with grassroots action and giving Ontarians a democratic option can we change the course.

That includes running candidates in every single riding (124) across Ontario.

The best is yet to come!
