Marit Stiles called on Premier Doug Ford to "reverse course" on the planned OSAP changes, opposing reductions in grant-based student aid and urging the government to maintain stronger grant funding for post-secondary students.

Marit Stiles says northern two-lane highways are dangerously unsafe and constitute a critical barrier to economic development — especially for the Ring of Fire mining projects. She’s leading a nine-day northern tour to press the government to fix road safety.

Marit Stiles opposes the provincial cuts to OSAP, urging Premier Doug Ford to reverse them. She says the reduced grants will make education less accessible, increase barriers for marginalized and special-needs students, and worsen youth unemployment and affordability.

Marit Stiles says she will pressure the Ford government to keep the workers' action centre open, urging immediate government action to guarantee laid-off auto workers the comfort of knowing the action centre will be there to support them.

Marit Stiles rejects the government's explanation for abruptly closing the Ontario Science Centre, saying the building remains usable, that the province could have kept parts open, and accusing the government of hiding other motives—criticizing its spending/relocation priorities.

Marit Stiles says EQAO testing has value and believes "there's a real place for the kind of research" it produces, indicating she supports retaining some resources for standardized testing research rather than abolishing it entirely.

Marit Stiles rejects the proposed Highway 401 tunnel as an unrealistic and ill-advised spending priority, expressing disbelief that government pursues it and implying taxpayers’ money should not be devoted to a project 'very few people really believe' is real.

Marit Stiles criticizes the Premier's anti-tariff ad campaign as neglecting stranded workers' needs; she argues Ford should focus on protecting and keeping jobs in Ontario now rather than running U.S.-targeted ads to attract Trump's attention.

Marit Stiles supports the Skills Development Fund's purpose to train workers and create jobs, insisting every dollar must go to working people and training. She says minister Piccini's misbehaviour casts a cloud over the program and accountability is required.

Marit Stiles opposes privileging a few large 'moon shot' projects by gutting rules or creating special exemptions; she favors fixing red tape broadly, retaining legal guardrails, and warns against bending rules to push through projects like the proposed 401 tunnel.

Marit Stiles says Ontario needs jobs and a concrete plan to protect them; she rejects political stunts and prioritizes practical solutions to economic insecurity, pledging the NDP will focus on jobs alongside cost-of-living, health care and education priorities.
