Disappointing for sure. There’s no call for it. Megan Walker shot herself in the foot over and over again in this by-election. The disecion to attack Elizabeth May and the Green Party on the last weekend is a desperate act by a weak candidate. If that’s an indication of the capibility of most NDP candidates then I feel sorry for them their day has come and gone.
