It's a shame the NDP still don't get how to make a good website. Though they do deserve credit for being the better out of the three.
Good for the NDP! I am a one issue voter right now, and that issue is transit. The NDP were the most transit friendly party out of all the major parties in Ontario and I hope their mandate doesn't change under Andrea Horwath. If they stay that course I will continue supporting them.
"It’s a shame the NDP still don’t get how to make a good website."
It looks like this IS the NDP website at the moment.
I, for one, would enjoy a little balance. How about a story on John Tory having his ___ handed to him on a platter?
She seems intelligent, but I'm not sure she represents anything new for this party. In fact, I'm pretty sure she doesn't.
I'm not all together clear on Andrea's policy positions.
I think to the extend she is a young(er) woman, that could be good for the dipper's though neither her issue stances nor her charisma have wow factor.
I wish Avi Lewis had run!
She may be transit friendly, but she drives a car everywhere.
I'll go with the Green candidate if unions are running the NDP.





















Her surname is a little tragic
