While gas prices reach records highs, Teresa Dionaldo said she wants to see something done about it. 

"I don't really care about the promises, but the issues I'm concerned with at the present time are the inflationary fact of the gas prices because it's a trickling effect," she said. "And who pays most of the gas are the people who go to work daily."

Dionaldo said it costs her double to fill up her gas tank now. 

"So my hope is that the premier would back down on the taxes that is being imposed, so at least the people could save some of those cost that they pay of the gas."

Dionaldo said she'll support the Progressive Conservatives in the upcoming election and agrees with how the party handled the pandemic. 

"And also I am pro-life so I hope they impose the issues of the pro-life movement," she said.

Mikayla Piper and Megan Andrews, both 22, are still unsure of who they will vote for on June 2. But both women say affordability, especially when it comes to owning a home or living on their own, is a top priority. 

Piper said she was working two jobs — one at Tim Hortons and one doing data entry — but still found it tough to get by. 

"Me personally, I live on my own so [affordability] is pretty huge for me, like, just seeing the increase from when I first moved to Windsor to now or even where I was living last year to know the increase I'm paying in rent," she said. "Or like my grocery bill is double what it was before which is insane — working two jobs I wasn't even making enough."

Piper said it was difficult at the start of the pandemic. Now, she's working as a concierge at a retirement home with more hours and better pay. But she still feels limited.
