130-142 Victoria Street South | 25 fl | Proposed

Exactly. Chapman and many other politicians in the ranks of the NDP are champagne socialists. People like her, Jagmeet Singh, Marit Stiles and Andrea Horwath didn't spent their life getting their hands dirty at work while fighting for labour and political reform in their free time. They came from affluent, privileged middle class families which allowed them to study in universities and enter the elite political world.

Ultimately she's a career politician, the type that only wants to rise up the ranks of the political hierarchy for her own gain. I see this move to run as NDP as her being an opportunist. Another step to stand on in her career. After watching her actions on council for 15 years I can confidently conclude she is the antithesis of what I expect NDP values to be about, at least at the grassroots level. The party itself isn't all that different from the rest of the big tent parties in Ontario/Canada unfortunately.
