With just 36 days until Canadians head to the polls, The NDP and Team Laura Mayer is on the ground and growing strong in the newly formed riding of Sault Ste. Marie\u2013Algoma\u2014a new riding that is vast and as beautiful as the people who call it home.<\/p>\n<p>This new riding merges a large portion of Algoma\u2013Manitoulin\u2013Kapuskasing with the City of Sault Ste. Marie. It stretches from Sagamok Anishnawbek to the city of Sault Ste Marie, and north along the coast of Lake Superior to Hornepayne. It\u2019s a riding that reflects the diversity and resilience of Northern Ontario\u2014communities coming together with a shared commitment to building a better future.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of this campaign is Laura Mayer, a proud Anishinaabekwe from Mississauga First Nation, a mother, lawyer, and longtime community activist. Growing up in Blind River, she is a small-town kid with a bold vision. Laura brings the kind of on-the-ground experience in advocacy, economic justice, and environmental protection that our communities need now more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>In a riding that runs on forestry, steel, service work, and cross-border trade, Laura\u2019s message is clear: the people of Sault Ste. Marie\u2013Algoma deserve leadership that protects workers, not corporate profits; defends universal health care, not cuts; and that fights for unity, not division.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis election is about trust\u2014it\u2019s about who has your back when American tariffs threaten our steel industry, when health care is under pressure, and when politics from across the border try to divide us,\u201d said Mayer. \u201cWe need made-in-Canada solutions\u2014solutions rooted in community, fairness, and protecting what we\u2019ve built together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is what we\u2019re fighting for\u2014and we\u2019re just getting started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The countdown is on!
