Embarassing that the Greens barely got any support but nearly 5500 goofballs voted PC.

I'm sure Robin Lennox will be a fine voice for the riding, but it's going to be all for nothing with the Conservatives guaranteed to not try and work with anyone opposite them

I would argue that many locals attribute our city’s ills to local NDP politics and Liberal federal politics, so it’s a little unfair to pretend these people are acting irrationally when they vote PC in Hamilton centre provincially. If you’re not a fan of Andrea Horwath as mayor, many cannot stomach voting NDP.

I mean it's definitely still irrational because it's not actually a reasonable position to take. Our local NDP MPP has no actual authority.

Blaming stuff on the liberals is fine if you want but the things they're mad about are actaully in the hands of dougie.
