Inside the Ontario NDP - Candidate Crisis

An insider discussion on just how the Ontario NDP blew the election against Ford by suppressing local democracy in order to hand pick candidates.

Host Jessa McLean sits down with Jay Woodruff, NDP Disability Committee Co-Chair and local Riding President to dispel myths about the Party and give folks an idea of what its really like inside the Left's electoral party.

Hear how local favourites were blocked from running or met with dirty tactics from ONDP headquarters. The results at the ballot box were devastating, but the impact on their grassroots base will be felt even longer.
