MODERATORS
Unless they commit (with teeth) to taking housing seriously and reforming the electoral system so this winner takes all bullshit never happens again (first past the post or whatever its called), a lot of people are going to have zero interest in anything they have left to say.
You might be interested in Nate Eskine-Smith.

He did an AMA on Reddit 2 days ago, and discussed proportional voting among other things.

He is my MPP. I’ve been very impressed with him. I’ve emailed him a few times voicing concerns, and each time he (or somebody from his staff) has addresses my emails, point by point, and have been very open to discussions. While i haven’t agreed with his stance on all points, i have very much appreciated the two way dialog, and the time that was taken to craft the responses (they were not short replies).
Technically he's your MP. An unfortunate problem with him running is that he's currently nobody's MPP, but considering the minivan problem you could say that about almost everybody involved in the Ontario Liberals.
Good find, I hope he's able to rise up. Will be watching for sure, but I'm tempering my expectations :(
We’ll see soon enough if he signed up enough new Liberal party members before the deadline today to overcome Bonnie Crombie’s lead. I suspect not, which is a shame, he seemed like the most promising OLP leadership contenter. In that case, I doubt progressives will choose the OLP next election, and will see more promise in the ONDP.
I will publicly laugh in their face if they go with an asshole old coot like that. Fuck, what is it with OLP and their antagonism to young people.
Its like, "yeah, lets be more like fucking Missisauga. No issues there, all clear". SMH
