Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke New Democratic Party candidate Marshall Buchanan believes his resume ticks all the boxes when it comes to experience.
Not to mention sitting on the board of the Bonnechere Watershed Project.
Buchanan is convinced NDP policies have the greatest resonance with Renfrew County voters across a spectrum of issues- but New Democratic solutions are also founded on practicality.
Doug Ford’s neglect of Education has caused a crisis in post-secondary education. Algonquin is closing its Perth Campus.
It took a lot of arm-twisting to get Queen’s Park to recognize the made-in-Renfrew-County solution of RCVTAC- but Ford has now slammed on the brakes on local progress at the Pembroke Campus.
Marshall Buchanan says he sees local and Ontario concerns each focused on Health Care, Education, Infrastructure and the downloading of Provincial responsibilities poised to break the backs of Renfrew-Nipissing Pembroke ratepayers.
It’s the failure to complete the four-laning of Highway 17 that shows how much Doug Ford takes Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke as a foregone conclusion.
It’s a deep well that the Ford administration leaves us in, but together we can pull ourselves out of it.
Buchanan believes we need to send someone to Toronto who can get the job done.
Marshall Buchanan, nominee for the NDP. Other candidates in the race are Billy Denault, PC; Mark Dickson, New Blue Party; Anna Marie Dolan, Green; Kevin Holm, Ontario Party and Oliver Jacob, Liberal.
Election Day is February 27th.
