I'd say best case, the NDP gets a clue and stops supporting these fake progressive candidates and instead selects someone we can get behind.
Then the city of kitchener is stuck with a councillor that has time and time again shown she is not interested in bettering the City. her clear goal is to do as little as possible while gaining as much power as possible. This is a by-election that will not affect how Doug Ford runs this province. Unfortunately that ship sailed last year when the people of Ontario didn't show up to vote. Personally I hope we elect a green MPP to sit beside Mike Schreiner, but if we end up with a Conservative MPP for 2.5 years who cares. It might actually make Doug pay attention to the Region. Giving us some much needed funding for major projects we have planned like our train station, as he would see it as a key strategic seat in the 2026 election.
"Who cares"...I mean, some of the people who will be explicitly anti-represented by another conservative government representative would probably care.
But I don't know that Chapman would vacate her council seat if she ran and lost.
