Growing up as a Canadian, I was proud of our country's principles of democracy and right to free speech. I remember when I read Animal Farm for the first time in Grade 6, I was shocked to read of a government built with the interest of its people in mind, but ended up becoming as corrupt as the government they replaced. Part of the reason for this shock was because I believed that it couldn't happen here. However, when I heard the news that Michael Ma crossed over to the Liberal Party, I realized this reality was indeed possible. Many members in our community, including myself, have not been involved in politics until this election. Our community wanted to give our support to the Conservative Party because we believe the Conservative Party's ideas represented our interests the best. By crossing to the Liberal Party, not only is this a violation of our trust, but it also brings us a sadness and anger that our vote has no meaning. I am signing this petition because I am still hopeful that we can get back the power of the people. I don't want to be disappointed anymore every time I hear news about Canadian politics. I want to be a proud Canadian.
Katelyn supported: Demand MP Michael Ma to ResignWhat Michael Ma did is an absolute betrayal of those who voted for him as a Conservative representative. By crossing the floor, he has effectively abandoned the mandate given to him by voters. Switching parties means he no longer represents the views of those who elected him, and therefore lacks a legitimate mandate to continue as an elected official.
As a voter in the Markham–Unionville riding who cast my vote for Michael Ma, I was not made aware of any notice, consultation, or intention to change party affiliation. This decision was made without the consent of his constituents. He should resign and allow the citizens of his riding to choose a new Member of Parliament.
Yongli supported: Demand MP Michael Ma to ResignAs a voter of Markham-Unionville riding casting my vote to Micheal Ma as a Conservative candidate, I am feeling a sense of colossal betrayal when he cross the floor without any notice and consultation with his constituents. Without his affiliation with the Conservatives party, I definitely would not vote for him. He must resign to let citizens of his riding to choose a new MP.
Daniel supported: Demand MP Michael Ma to ResignSubject: Your Defection Is an Unforgivable Betrayal — Resign Now
Mr. Michael Ma,
I have lived in Markham for 34 years, and like thousands of residents, l never had heard about your name before the 2025 Federal Election. I voted for you only because you represented the Conservative Party. Your decision to abandon the Party and join the Liberal Party, the very voters who elected you is nothing short of an unforgivable betrayal! Our community is furious. We feel blatantly deceived, manipulated, and stripped of our democratic voice.
Your actions have destroyed every ounce of trust we placed in you. I strongly demand that you resign immediately and allow a by-election so this riding can choose someone who genuinely represents us and who we can trust!
Sincerely,
Cordelia Ho
Markham Resident

Raymond supported: TAX WEALTH – DON'T CUT DISABILITY SUPPORTI have severe autism and can't socialise at all face to face with strangers, can't speak on phone, I also have many other conditions that link in and means I need a full time carer, this duty to engage thing isn't possible so to get a peaceful life I'll have bo choice but to not move to UC and Struggle. working isn't possible when significant issues with coordination, judgement, memory and behaviour inflexible routine etc all go hand in hand with the autism.
Rick supported: TAX WEALTH – DON'T CUT DISABILITY SUPPORTAfter 20 years of dedicated service as a registered health professional in the NHS, I found myself, through no fault of my own, living with multiple disabilities—some of them permanent. I had never claimed benefits before, but in recent years, I’ve had no choice. The financial support from PIP and LCWRA has been a lifeline for me, my family, and my children, as Universal Credit alone is simply not enough to survive on.
On top of the daily struggles that come with being disabled, I have also faced relentless discrimination and bureaucracy when dealing with the DWP and Universal Credit offices. I have had abrupt UC closures and overpayment notices—errors caused by DWP processes, not claimants like me—leading to constant uncertainty and distress.
Now, with the proposed cuts to disability benefits, my future and my family’s security are at risk. If I lose PIP under the new “four-point rule” in 2026 and my LCWRA payment of £416.19 is halved or removed under the UC health element changes, what financial support will be left for me,my family and young children ? These reforms will only push disabled people further into poverty, leaving us without the means to live with dignity.
Abolishing the Work Capability Assessment and restricting PIP to only the “severely disabled” is a cruel and dangerous move. Who decides what counts as “severely disabled”? Even experienced medical professionals struggle to define it, and the reality is that many of us who rely on these benefits—those who can barely walk, who need mobility aids, mental health support,specialist equipment, and daily support—will be left with nothing.
If the government needs to balance the budget, they should look elsewhere, not target the most vulnerable. Welfare benefits exist to uphold financial rights under the Equality Act 2010, not as a political bargaining chip.
That’s why I strongly support this vital campaign led by the Honourable Richard Burgon MP. We must stand together to protect the financial security and dignity of disabled people. Cutting disability support is not the answer—taxing extreme wealth is. I do not understand politics but I understand disability and the issues faced by disabled people , family and children due to my lived experience. I want our voices to be amplified and listened at the parliament and I truly wish this campaign delivers our voices through this campaign . Wishing this campaign the success it deserves.
