LeftyLabourTechTorontoForget the internal fighting inside the Ontario Liberal Party. The real alternative in Scarborough Southwest is Fatima Shaban of the Ontario NDP. Fatima is a working class mom, tenant and has lived in the riding since she was a kid. She knows the daily struggles of everyday folks because she has the same struggles everyone has.
Robert ZaichkowskiAs much as I like Nate, he wasn't doing himself any favours by openly admitting he wants to use the SSW seat to gun for the #OLP leadership and by asking nomination rivals to step aside. However, Marit & the #ONDP need to ask serious questions given they are behind the leaderless Liberals. #ONpoli

So the Ontario Liberal Party's knight in shining armour lost the nomination race in Scarborough Southwest by about 20 votes to a Domino's Pizza franchise owner.
That's okay. The anti-Ford vote can coalesce around ONDP candidate Fatima Shaban, who unlike the others actually lives in the riding and is a working class mom and tenant activist

Meanwhile, both federal and Ontario #NDP leaders @[email protected] & @[email protected] expressed their firm opposition to Doug Ford's land grab and called on @[email protected] to intervene. #cdnpoli #ONpoli #ONDP #LPC #NoJetsTO
It's been quite a while since the #PCPO has not been leading in Ontario polls and this is with a leaderless #OLP! Time for Doug Ford to bring back FOI's and reverse other boneheaded legislation his government has done! #ONpoli #ONDP #GPO

Tenant/community activist Fatima Shaban won the Ontario NDP nomination in the riding of Scarborough Southwest on the first ballot tonight.
Nice to see the #PCPO brought down to a statistical tie with the #OLP. We need that downward trend to continue in order to send Doug Ford a message his agenda fails Ontarians. #ONpoli #ONDP #FordFailedOntario

In the event Ontario's Bill 97 - which contains those awful FOI changes - becomes law, @[email protected], @[email protected], the Ontario Liberals, and the unions need to start calling for a general strike! We can't afford three more years of Doug Ford! #ONpoli #ONDP #GPO #OLP
