So I will chime in on a kind of this subject, kind of not. Nate Erskine-Smith got f*cked over the Ontario Liberal party nomination for Scarborough. For those not in the know, Nate is currently the Federal Liberal MP for Beaches North York. Normally he grates my nerves but I will admit Carney backstabbed him something good last year.
The Liberals were dying a quick death, Trump and Carney were reviving it, Nate wasn't going to stick around, he did and was made housing minister. Then after the election, got dropped from Liberal cabinet. He is actually smarter than many in cabinet (even if I do not agree with his views on may things).
From what I get, he got shoved out of the nomination race by Navdeep Bains (Former Liberal MP, who is as crooked as they come) backing another candidate and using the local Bengali ethnicity against him. Many of the locals didn't even know who they were voting for but voted for who Navdeep and others told them to.
Great, your local guy can be the hero. Here is the problem, the Ontario Liberals NEED a leader who is smart and can play the left/center-left populace against a losing popularity Doug Ford. Nate can do that a hell of lot better than the dominoes pizza guy they selected as that local candidate.
I know some will say I want Nate to get into provincial politics sop that the LPC loses a seat. Not really my motive, guys. Its Beaches-North York, it will go another Liberal, slim chance an NDP. It will not in this reality be Conservative. I do want to see the Ontario Liberals get stronger, possibly force the Ontario conservatives to get their act together and ideally get rid of Ford.
