In this pre-election dialogue, NDP candidate Steve Holmes joins us in studio to outline his party’s vision for Ontario, just days before the October 10 vote. Holmes, a long-time bus driver and union leader, shares his background in representing workers through the ATU 741 and London District Labor Council, emphasizing the NDP’s roots in labor advocacy. The conversation quickly turns to the interconnected planks of Howard Hampton’s platform, linking healthcare accessibility—including relisted services and dental care—to environmental initiatives like the Green Lights program, which promotes conservation and decentralized renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
Discussions on energy reveal sharp contrasts, as Holmes invokes Adam Beck’s conservative-era push for public power at cost, while the flaws of government monopolies become evident in examples like inflated hydro bills burdened by transmission fees and debt charges. Economic philosophies clash over free trade, globalism, and the “race to the bottom,” with Holmes defending protections for workers’ rights and local economies against unchecked corporate profits. Labor issues dominate, exploring whether unions truly serve all workers or act as special interests, amid declining unionization and critiques of leaders like Sid Ryan venturing into unrelated political activism.
The referendum on mixed member proportional representation sparks debate on electoral fairness, highlighting the NDP’s support for a system that balances riding representation with party lists, potentially amplifying diverse voices despite risks to independents. Broader topics include crime’s roots in social inequities, the need for preventive education supports cut under Mike Harris, and unresolved Aboriginal land disputes in Caledonia and Ipperwash, blamed on federal delays. A caller challenges private education’s accessibility, underscoring tensions between choice and equity.
Throughout, audio clips from Star Trek and comedians illustrate themes of taxes, unions, and greed, though these external views do not reflect our own. As philosophies diverge on individualism versus collectivism, the exchange underscores why true fairness demands rejecting coercive policies in favor of freedom that’s just right.
