"Simon is exactly the kind of leader we need—thoughtful, community-driven, and committed to real, lasting change. Like me, he’s been tirelessly knocking on doors, listening to residents, and having honest conversations about what really matters to people in his riding. That’s the kind of politics we need more of—grounded in listening first. Simon is stepping up with a clear vision: bold climate action, economic fairness, and real solutions for better housing. He knows that housing is a human right, and he’s committed to pushing for policies that make homes truly affordable and accessible for all.Simon brings the energy, empathy, and integrity that our democracy so often lacks. He’s not afraid to challenge the status quo—and he’s doing it for the right reasons: to build a more just, sustainable, and caring future.I’m proud to stand with Simon Guthrie. Waterloo would be lucky to have a representative like him in Ottawa."

"I have volunteered alongside Simon in support of numerous social justice initiatives in our region over the last ten years. Simon lives his deep commitment to community building and social justice by actively engaging in grassroots initiatives from climate action to frontline food security and housing, often supporting those with those with the least access to resources. Simon excels at bringing people together. He seeks opportunities to collaborate across organizations to achieve common goals and willingly steps up to lead while encouraging others to participate as they are able. Simon is both curious and thoughtful, often diving deep to develop his understanding of issues and the perspectives of others. I’m confident that Simon will represent his constituents well with unwavering commitment and integrity."
