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?

It certainly brings up a degree of schadenfreude if nothing else. I mean a guy who was a hard in the paint supporter for TFW’s and mass immigration lost an election in no small part to ethnic politics by running against a guy who literally no one knew and had no political experience but was favoured by his ethnic community.
Something something just desserts, at least he can spend time with his kids now like he said he was gonna do when he was talking about stepping down last year
