While major media outlets were busy covering the federal
Liberal policy convention in Montréal on February 22, 2014, there was another
significant political development that day which needs to be heard. In 141 ridings across Canada, a total of 2,172 volunteers mobilized for
the NDP’s first National Day of Action to promote their affordability campaign. I was part of this campaign with MP Peggy Nash and fellow members
of the Parkdale High Park NDP riding association. While canvassing, I found most of those who answered the door expressed their support and signed the petition, which Peggy confirmed in an earlier blog post.
