"Actually, somebody, one of my MPPs the other day, we were out knocking on doors in the Hamilton area and she said, you know, what I'm hearing out here is not the same anger that I heard last year, anger, fear, it's anxiety about, and largely that anxiety is related to affordability, the rising cost of everything, particularly food, which seems to have become for sure what most people are really are really experiencing right now most directly. And of course, there's other affordability issues, rent continues to rise above the guidelines here in Ontario. And that's very stressful for a lot of people. And there are other costs that kind of keep creeping up. But food, the cost of groceries is without question, one of the biggest issues that we hear about on the doorstep right now."
