YSW NDP holds fundraiser
Yafet Tewelde is the York South-Weston New Democratic Party candidate running to unseat Liberal MP and Immigration Minister, Ahmed Hussen in October’s federal election. In a short upbeat speech yesterday, the candidate outlined the major platform planks and stressed that the riding is hungry for change after Liberals’ broken promises and ambiguous messaging on green energy. The event was held in a beautiful back yard overlooking the Humber in glorious weather.


There’s a lot of time between now and voting day on October 29 but the local party seems ready, organized and enthusiastic.
Yafet Tewelde to be NDP candidate
Yafet Tewelde will be named the federal NDP candidate this weekend. He’s joining a tight race with Mark DeMontis (Conservative) and Ahmed Hussen (Liberal).
We are thrilled to announce our neighbour @BhutilaKarpoche will be a guest speaker at the nomination of @YafetYSW this Saturday!

US political site Counterpunch.org has an article commenting on the current provincial election campaign. Apparently the Ford name has piqued interest down there. The author, Canadian political commentator, Doug Johnson Hatlem claims that no Liberal seat in Ontario is safe and that York South-Weston has become a safe NDP seat. The author states that when families get together over a long weekend, they have a chance to mull over the political situation as a group and opinions become firmer.
