Edwin Current: Andrea Howarth and Ontario NDP Only After Political Gain?
It’s becoming more and more clear that the Andrea Howarth led NDP party is NOT the NDP of the past fighting for social injustice. In fact, I think this NDP’s new direction seems like a deceptive representation of the NDP brand and almost right leaning. Some claim Andrea Howarth and Ontario NDP are only

When I was a municipal pol back in the day, I didn’t have a whole lot of use for MPP Eves, but he did watch out for his constituents – much like Norm Sterling did. So it is a shame that Hudak’s right-hand hick man sees it fit to slam one of their own… BTW […]

Gee, these so-called debates are becoming more and more irrelevant with each passing election. Really now, because of the long period of time that Ontarians have had to cast their ballots (great idea, BTW… it’ll be interesting to see if the turnout is bumped up) and the lateness of the debate AND that these things […]
