According to this article on the CBC site, Moraga described himself as "a person of colour from a multi-ethnic background, a proud member of the LGBTQ-plus community, an environmental advocate, a scientist, and so much more..."
I have mixed feelings about NDP leader Jagmeet Singh but Andrew Moraga is my kind of candidate.
I don't like getting involved in politics -- all 3 have great ideas, and all 3 have horrible ideas. All 3, if they were to win, would do some fine things, while all 3 will end up hurting a lot of people and get embroiled in more BS scandals, though some have better luck at going down that rabbit hole.
I will say this year, though, we have a choice between dumb, dumber, and dumberer (yeah, it's not a word). All 3 parties fit well into the dumberer category.
Now, as for a persons background -- such as their skin colour, ethnic background, memberships to things like LGBTQ+, super meaningless. No one should get a free ride for such things.
