Yesterday, Dalton McGuinty finally called the byelection in Parkdale-High Park for September 14. This byelection will be to replace Gerrard Kennedy, who is now running for the federal Liberal leadership. The candidates are Cheri DiNovo for the NDP, Sylvia Watson (the sitting city councillor) for the Liberals and David Hutcheon for the PCs. This will be an interesting race. The NDP holds this riding federally, but Gerrard Kennedy won with 58% of the vote in the last provincial general election. A key factor will likely be how much of a campaign the PCs run. If a strong PC campaign takes place, then it will likely draw voters from the Liberals allowing the NDP to win. I plan to do my bit to try and get Cheri DiNovo elected and send one more NDPer to Queen's Park.
Cheers

Parkdale's Sylvia Watson has the moxie and experience to make a MPP
ReplyDeleteRiiiight. Experience and moxy. The only experience she has is leading a witchhunt against Howard Moscoe, flip-flopping on the dogs in Sorauren Park issue and cheerleeding the destruction of green space to make room for parking at the Palais Royale.
