On this week’s episode, it was a pleasure to welcome the Ontario NDP’s Dr Jill Andrew and Faisal Hassan to The Drip to discuss the NDP’s platform ahead of the June 2nd election. As you can imagine, it was a thoughtful and fun discussion on Ontario’s political landscape.

In part 1, we compared the size of Doug Ford’s budget against the fact that there was barely a morsel for Black and racialized Ontarians; the NDP’s plan to make life more affordable and their approach to enhancing mental health; their proposal to accelerate pharmacare for Ontario; and how they’ll differentiate themselves from the Ontario Liberals, with whom they have plenty policy in common.

In part 2, we discuss the possibility of an NDP-Liberal coalition after the June 2nd election; the possibility of voters being ready to give the NDP another shot like they gave Doug Ford; and Jill and Faisal make an appeal to the voters of Toronto-St. Paul’s and York South-Weston.
