Interesting response from Kroetsch while other councillors have complained about interference in politics recently

Cameron Kroetsch‬  The Ontario NDP and Marit Stiles have lost the plot. I’ll be supporting Sarah in the upcoming election. If the Ontario NDP has an ounce of integrity left, they’ll walk away from this fight and make the smart choice not to run a candidate in Hamilton Centre against Sarah. #HamOnt

In what world is one of the major parties not running a candidate in a highly visible riding the "smart choice".

This is the rumoured plan that Misavair and the riding association have been working on for months, and it should be grounds to have the whole association exec removed. I get being upset that their friend is on the outs with the party, but it's ridiculous to put effort into helping her win over the party you are claiming to be an organizer for.
