“Shifts in the global economy and trade uncertainty are leaving border communities like Sault Ste. Marie feeling especially vulnerable. The world around us is changing fast, but Navdeep Bains has what it takes to turn the challenges we face into opportunities.

He is a strategic leader who knows how to build stronger, more competitive industries and create the conditions for good jobs and thriving communities. I saw his talent for bringing people together to solve complex problems when he was Innovation Minister and I was Mayor, and I am proud to stand with him again as he steps up for Ontario.”

“From the Ottawa Valley to Kingston and communities across Eastern Ontario, we understand that winning starts with strong local teams and people who are willing to put in the work. That’s why I’m supporting Nav. I’ve seen his work ethic firsthand, and he knows there are no shortcuts in this job. He’s willing to roll up his sleeves, empower volunteers, and rebuild our party riding by riding and community by community. Nav understands that our path back to victory starts at the grassroots, and he’s the leader who can bring our party together and build it back from the ground up.”

“I've known Navdeep for over 20 years, and as a Past President of the Ontario Liberal Party, I know what this party needs right now. We need a leader who will show up for our party members, do the hard work riding-by-riding, and give our organizers and grassroots volunteers the energy and the support they deserve! Navdeep is that leader. He has my full support.”

“Too many people get into public life and forget where they come from. Navdeep Bains never did. He's brought Brampton and Windsor with him into every room he's walked into, and never lost sight of the people behind the politics. Ontarians know what that kind of leader looks like, and we need more of them.”

“There's a difference between leaders who want the title and leaders who want the work. Navdeep Bains is the second kind. Ontario has waited long enough for a government that actually delivers. After 19 years at Queen's Park and seven as Speaker of the Legislature, I've watched leaders perform under pressure. Nav has the character, the resilience, and the judgment we need. He has my full support.”

“The province is ready for a fresh start, and Ontarians don't have the patience for a long learning curve. We need a leader who can deliver from day one. That's why I'm backing Navdeep Bains. He has a proven record of driving our economy forward, securing major investments, and fostering the innovation that creates good-paying jobs. We need those kinds of results now more than ever. Navdeep has done it before, and he’ll do it again as our next Premier. He's ready to lead, and I'm proud to stand with him.”

“With changing trade relationships, AI, and the rising cost of living, young people across Ontario are facing more uncertainty than ever. We’re willing to work hard — we just want a fair shot to succeed. That’s why I’m so excited Navdeep Bains is running to be our next leader and Premier. He has the real experience we need to create jobs and opportunity for my generation. He’s all in, and I am too”

“I’m proud to endorse Navdeep Bains because I’ve seen the kind of leader he is. He’s a true grassroots champion who listens to people and empowers those around him. He also brings the energy, experience, and determination our party needs to reconnect with Ontarians and rebuild for the future. I hope you’ll join me in supporting him.”

“I've known Nav for many years here in Mississauga, where we're both raising our families and share a deep commitment to the community we call home. We know a better path forward is possible for all of us in this province, and that starts with great education and properly funded healthcare for all of us. Navdeep Bains has the experience, determination, and compassion we need to build a stronger Ontario. I'm proud to support him”

“After decades in municipal, provincial, and federal politics, I’ve learned that even though the problems change, the skills you need to succeed transfer across every level of government. That's why I know Navdeep Bains is the best choice for Ontario today. He earned the confidence of workers, businesses, and investors across Canada and around the world by delivering on some of our country's most important economic priorities. He's as solid as they come, and I know he'll earn the trust of Ontarians, too. I'm proud to give him my full support.”

“As a father, Nav has a deep understanding of what's at stake in Ontario today. For far too many young people, a stable career, an affordable home, and a fair chance to build a good life feel out of reach. As a tested leader, he has the experience and judgment to step in on day one and immediately get to work rebuilding Ontario into a place where hard work pays off again. This is personal for him, and I know he has the focus and discipline to deliver real results for Ontarians.”

“As a past Ontario Liberal candidate for Oakville North—Burlington, I am proud to endorse Navdeep Bains for Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.

Nav cares deeply about Ontario's future and has the vision, experience, and leadership needed to get our province and our party back on track. As a former federal Cabinet Minister with significant private-sector experience and a proven track record as an accomplished organizer, he knows how to build strong teams, connect with voters, and win.

I am confident that Navdeep Bains is the right person to lead the Ontario Liberal Party into its next chapter, and I am proud to support him as our next leader.”

“I have known Navdeep for a long time. I served with him in Ottawa when he was the federal Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, and I know him to be highly competent and widely respected. I consider it highly significant that he earned the same respect from the Science community, one where you are judged more by your ability to get things done than the eloquence of your speeches, or your ability to schmooze.

From Thunder Bay to the GTA, Ontarians share many of the same challenges in education, jobs, housing, and health care. What they don’t share, however, are one-size-fits-all solutions.

I’m proud to support Navdeep Bains for Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party because of his track record and because he understands the right answers will come from communities themselves.

He is collaborative, experienced, and ready to get to work delivering practical solutions that reflect the diversity of our province.”

“As Chief of the Ojibways of Onigaming First Nation I've seen firsthand what happens when government actually listens - and what happens when it doesn't. Real partnership with First Nations communities isn't a policy position. You either show up for it or you don't.

Navdeep Bains shows up. It was great to see him in Kenora. His experience working on the decisions that shape communities like ours, tells me he understands that good policy is built thru true partnership. That's the kind of leadership Ontario needs. And it's why I'm proud to stand with Nav.”

“With our economy under threat and families struggling to get by, no one is better prepared than Nav Bains to get Ontario back to work for working people. He's driven economic policy at the highest levels, bringing in investment and creating good-paying jobs. He has the plan we need to build real prosperity, strengthen communities, and unlock Ontario's full potential. I couldn't be more proud to support him.”
