We finally received our provincial gov bribes last week, so I'm putting them to good use. Strategic donation to the local NDP candidate who just barely beat the Con candidate last election (Lib was distant third).

Vote #ChandraPasma in Ott-West-Nepean.

Sending the other chunk to the #PressProgress – journalism that digs into the ON gov's crooked deals and backroom politics.
