This Kitchener by-election keeps getting better. I jokingly suggested Albrecht but they picked a candidate that lives in Keswick, ON.
Dougie isn't even trying here.

Ontario PCs announce candidate for Kitchener Centre by-election who resides in Keswick

So both Liberals and PC's selected people from outside the city. Interesting. Looks like neither care.

I don't think any of the candidates should win, except maybe Kelly Stiess. Personal opinion.

On one had, I'd like to see Chapman win just to get her out of city hall. But she'll be as useless in Toronto as she is in Kitchener.

Kelly has ties with Kitchener, as she works for the city and works in Community Services as a Supervisor. Of all of them, she is the most qualified. If only because she works a lot with different neighbourhoods and should have a better pulse of the city despite living in Waterloo.

I am bad because I so want Chapman out of city hall. But damn...she'll be a horrible MPP.

This comment is Ainsley Clancy erasure!

In all seriousness, of all the lawn signs I’ve seen in my neighborhood, about 75% of them are Green, with NDP making up the other 25%. Elsewhere in Kitchener Centre, I’ve seen a single Liberal sign and a single New Blue sign.

Obviously this isn’t representative of how the results will play out, but it’s definitely similar to how things looked before the Greens won the MP seat here.
