Over 30% of the Convention delegates agreed with us.
We exposed the rebate debacle for what it was. We challenged their handling of Convention, and their refusal to make the space accessible.

The @NDP have cut off all contact since I publicly challenged them.
To me and @NDPYorkSimcoe - of which I am President.
