Jeanne McGuire is a former public sector worker who has been employed in education, health and recreation. She was active in the trade union movement as a member and held various executive positions. An early participant in the movement for women’s equality, she has written and spoken extensively on the issue. Jeanne joined the Communist Party of Canada in 2016 as she realized that capitalism could not solve the biggest issues facing the people of Ontario, Canada or the world.

“Capitalism cannot solve the climate crisis, it is unable to halt the slide into greater and greater economic inequality, it has created and is unwilling to end homelessness and food insecurity, it is unable to offer the young a future of full employment. That is why I joined the Communist Party and that is why I am running in this election. Working people deserve more than they are getting from the economy and the political parties that represent the interests of those who own the corporations that dominate the economy.”
