The New Blue Party will bring renewed \u201ctransparency\u201d to Queen\u2019s Park, according to Newmarket-Aurora candidate Iwona Czarnecka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Czarnecka put her name forward to be Newmarket-Aurora\u2019s next MPP for the New Blues out of a desire for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe established parties have voted lock-step with each other,\u201d she told The Auroran over email. \u201cOur elected MPPs are controlled by their party whips and the lobbyists. So, they are not responsive to the needs of the citizens. They ignore us until election time. Then it is like Christmas with all of their promises in exchange for another term\u2026paid for with our tax dollars. This is the very definition of an abusive relationship. It is time for change. It\u2019s time to turn the legislature back to the people so they are represented with a real voice in their Provincial Parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Blues, she says, plans to \u201ctake a community-based consultative approach to bring about effective, efficient, and common-sense solutions to local provincial issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If elected, she says her top three priorities for Aurora\u2019s north riding would be to \u201cwork with the community to voice realistic solutions to local issues, fight for the protection of our Charter Rights with a heavy focus on parental rights, [and] fight to ensure that mandates which violate our rights never become government policy and restore all those impacted to their employment status prior to the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Czarnecka describes herself as a \u201cmother of two, wife, entrepreneur and neighbour.\u201d She is \u201csomeone who deeply believes all of us matter and deserve attention to our concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNew Blue believes in transparency,\u201d she says. \u201cDoug Ford and the PCs have not been transparent. The pandemic demonstrated this clearly. Actions clouded by vague language, taken behind closed doors, and in the shadows undermine our freedoms. They make people lose trust in their government, and with the loss of trust comes the loss of hope, and with it an increase in apathy. That is why voter turnout is falling and poses one of the greatest threats to our democracy. People are turning their backs on government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ford PCs are not and were not transparent. They allowed regulatory agencies and boards staffed with non-elected officials to by-pass the Legislature and public review on matters of health and education. New Blue will never do this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
