"Tory defector loses nomination" [View all]

Well.... Ms Eve Adams lost, thank goodness! The winning Liberal, Marco Mendocino, is endorsed by long-time MPP Mike Colle and Bob Rae. The NDP currently does not have a candidate set to run.

But I was contacted the other day to join other NDPers in the riding to canvas "for change." But should the NDP even field a candidate? This is Joe Oliver's riding, and has historically been Liberal. If the NDP is sincere in its claim that the #1 priority is ousting Harper, then it seems they should let the Liberals battle this out with the cons.

Any thoughts?
