After participating in a panel discussion on CBC K-W's The Morning Edition, Kitchener South-Hespeler candidates were asked what they would do to protect local jobs at factories like the Toyota plant amid U.S. tariffs. The four candidates who took part in the panel were Liberal Valerie Bradford, the NDP's Lorne Bruce, Conservative Matt Strauss and Ethan Russell of the Green Party. There are six candidates in total in this riding, including Kathleen Dueck from the United Party of Canada and Randy Williams from the People's Party of Canada.
