Kathleen Wynne Quotations

One of the really positive things about minority government is that there is the necessity to broker policy positions. What happens is you get a hybrid of what a single party might do. And I don't think that is a bad thing.

Social justice is what drives me; it's why I'm here.

I do not believe that the people of Ontario judge their leaders on the basis of race, sexual orientation, colour or religion. I don't believe they hold that prejudice in their hearts.

People need to see where their dollars are going and what infrastructure is being built.

In the same way we have a long-term plan for building roads, we have to have a long term plan to build transit.

There is a temptation in politics to look for simplistic slogans and to play the game in a way that looks like you're a savvy politician.

In every election homophobia has been part of the landscape and in every campaign I've been able to become connected enough to my constituents that they know who I am and that I can be elected on my merits.

I came to politics later in life so I bring a different life experience to it.

I think there's not much patience for organized labour, period, public or private sector.

I've been driving since I was 19 years old.

Ontarians don't want to believe that they are small people. They want to believe that they're open and that they're inclusive - and I believe that they are.

My plan is to govern as long as I can.

I have no intention of disowning my record as a member of the McGuinty government.

Ability means all of us finding our strengths and putting them to full use.

I am always looking for ways our government can help make everyday life easier for Ontarians, and these new polymer birth certificates do just that. Having a safe and durable birth certificate will provide more security and help protect people from fraud and identify theft.

Women don't seek power for its own sake, but to make a difference and overcome each challenge

When our young people can find meaningful work, we all benefit. This youth jobs strategy would help connect youth with careers they can build on and equip them with the skills they need to thrive in today's global economy.

Ontario’s colleges and universities offer our young people life-changing opportunities. With an education, you can go anywhere and do anything. I am so impressed with the way our postsecondary students are engaging in their communities, and I am inspired by their hope and optimism. They are not the leaders of tomorrow – they are leaders today.

I'm committed to working with teachers.

Parents deserve the peace of mind of knowing their children are in good hands. By investing in early childhood educators, we are supporting nurturing child care environments where children can thrive.
