🤔 “The recent ‘Longest Ballot’ action in #TorontoStPauls has only ever participated in Liberal ridings & one NDP riding. NOT ONE Conservative held riding. Running 74 fake spoiler candidates who don’t live, support, or even campaign, in the communities they target, is so clearly a dirty trick & an abuse of rules & norms, benefiting #Conservatives. The organizers claim to be independent, but the ridings they target tell another story.” - @HeatherMoAndCo
