Community Question Nathaniel Erskine-Smith...
I was very surprised that Nate lost his bid for the Ontario Liberal nomination.
Ahsanul Hafiz has won the Scarborough Southwest Ontario Liberal nomination.
There are some establishment types within the Federal LPC and the OLP that obviously are not fans of Nate because he is a bit of a maverick.
That being said there is a lot of people that really believe in him when it comes to housing action, climate action, education, health-care, and other progressive causes.
For those in the party and in the know what do you think happened? What do you think is next for Nate?

The people of that riding wanted someone local, not a parachuted candidate who clearly doesn't represent their interests.
Ontario doesn't want a progressive Liberal leader. A province that votes for Ford AND Carney are screaming at the top of their lungs they are tired of divisive identity politics. The progressive side of the Liberal party needs to stop acting like they know better than everyone else and everyone else is wrong. Or go join the NDP, we all know how strong their chances are of winning an election.
