ISARC’s Ontario Election Backgrounders

During the past two years of pandemic response, many issues of equality, adequacy and human dignity were sidelined. Yet, the dire effects of the pandemic served to further expose and enlarge the gaps in our social safety net.

The backgrounders provided here speak to Affordable Housing, Income Security, Worker Justice and Long Term Care.

With your assistance ISARC plans to take the following actions:

• The questions are being sent to party leaders and responses will be posted to the ISARC website by May 18
• We ask those receiving this email to please direct the attached questions to the candidates in your local riding and then share the responses with ISARC.

Any responses received by ISARC will be posted to the ISARC website.

Together we make a difference, and an election is an important opportunity to bring public attention to matters that can be addressed if there is the political will to do so.
