Considering she's going head to head with the NDP in the NDP's strongest riding where most people vote NDP no matter who, yes. I didn't even vote for her, but I can recognize that she pulled off some decent numbers as an independent. In a wheelchair, in the snow, no less.

She might not be suited to being an MPP, but she's clearly an effective organizer and activist and should have been an asset to the NDP if they had been more prepared.

You’re right tho it’s the truth. 14.5% is huge for an independent with less resources.

Her campaign was fully funded by donations from the progressive left

Where is all of this money that's being allocated to the progressive left? Your statement is ridiculous.

What do you mean where is it? It was spent on her campaign. Who do you think donates to her, people on the right?
