Overheard this week: “Mulcair has produced a bold urban agenda”

This week, Tom Mulcair took his plan for middle-class families – and the cities where they live – on the road. Thousands of Canadians in Toronto and Vancouver came out to hear Tom’s message of hope and optimism.

Here’s some of what they’re saying:

“Mulcair has put forward the best and most reasonable federal agenda for cities …”

– Dave Nickle, Inside Toronto, March 19, 2015

“NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has produced a bold urban agenda … Toronto has a prominent champion in Ottawa in the run-up to the federal election this fall. And New Democratic Party Leader Tom Mulcair deserves full credit for assuming that role.”

– Toronto Star, Editorial, March 17, 2015

“Mulcair’s New Democrats have developed some perfectly respectable … notions about how to deal with these dysfunctions and make the country a better place in the bargain. An hourly federal minimum wage of $15. Rolling back the retirement age from 67 to 65. Tax cuts for small businesses. A big federal investment in child care and transit.”

– Terry Glavin, National Post, March 18, 2015

“NDP leader’s focus on urban issues offers hope that this federal election will be different … Mulcair has certainly given reason to temper that skepticism with hope. He’s specific, and blunt, and his speech points line up exactly with what smart Torontonians have long identified as our priorities.”
