I was recently in a debate with someone supporting @StevenDelDuca who praised his "deep partisanship." This is not an official spokesperson for Del Duca. But it got me thinking. Partisanship is something many people like in politics. I don't. #olpldr #onpoli 1/5

When someone is deeply partisan, politics is a zero sum game. Our win is their loss, and vice-versa. This leads to incredible waste and stupidity. Half of what Ford is destroying right now is mainly to erase the Liberal legacy. And his supporters love it. #olpldr #onpoli 2/5

True "partisans" were French resistance fighters. When your country is occupied, everything that hurts the other side is good for you. Politics cannot be this cut-throat. In the end, we're serving the same people. One team hands off to another. #olpldr #onpoli 3/5

When Liberals take power again, I hope we aren't led by someone so partisan they insist on dismantling everything just 'cause. I do not dislike Ontario Health Teams, for example. Needs some tweaks, but still. Their "win" cannot be seen as our "loss" in this. #olpldr #onpoli 4/5

I've said it before - to replace Ford, we need to be better than Ford. We can't simply run the same playbook for a different team. We aren't always right and they aren't always wrong. And anyone who claims it's that simple isn't worth following. #olpldr #onpoli 5/5
