Radio Waterloo spoke with the candidates for the Waterloo riding as the 2025 Ontario provincial election, scheduled for February 27 draws closer. 

We’ll be releasing a series of four pieces, each highlighting our interview with one of the candidates. We’ve included the Ontario Liberal, NDP, Green and New Blue parties. The Ontario Progressive Conservative party did not respond to repeated requests for an interview. 

Today’s piece features the NDP candidate for the Waterloo riding, Catherine Fife. Fife has held Waterloo’s seat since 2012 and is in her fourth term as MPP.

Fife shared her thoughts on what she feels are the top issues in Waterloo, how she and her party plan to address them. She also spoke about what the tariff threats coming from the United States could mean for this community and her party’s stance on addressing them.

Today’s piece features the New Blue Party of Ontario candidate for the Waterloo riding, Suja Biber. 

Biber has a background in physiotherapy, massage therapy and public administration, and previously served on the board of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. She values balancing professional work with giving back to her community.

Note: In her discussion of the local doctor shortage, Biber said there are about 40,000 to 60,000 people in Waterloo without access to a family doctor, but this number more closely corresponds to the rough statistic for Waterloo Region, which is 60,000 to 70,000. 

Note: The audio in this piece was edited to remove a portion saying Biber currently serves on the board of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. She no longer serves on this board.
