By-election
Sep. 14th, 2006 09:44 amThere's a provincial by-election in my former riding (Parkdale/High Park). Votes are cast today. Gerard Kennedy, former minister of education resigned his seat to run for leadership of the federal Liberals. The race is primarily between NDP Cheri DiNovo and Liberal Silvia Watson. In general, I'd say that people in Toronto are kind of "meh" about the Ontario Liberals, and in the last federal election, that riding ousted Liberal Sam Bulte (in favour of NDP Peggy Nash).
Things got a bit nasty the other day, which suggests to me that Watson isn't polling the way she wants to poll. I think we could use more NDP in the Legislature.
