Yup. I'm frequently disappointed in how little interest Horwath seems to take in the municipal politics. It seems like either way we lose - if we elect a back-bencher, then they're whipped by the leader and have no say in parliament. If we elect a leader, then they're too busy with province-wide politics to pay attention to issues directly related to their riding. How do we get somebody who will fight for Hamilton?

And yes, the NDP's platform of lowering household expenses seems to sometimes run counter to their environmentalist side - last election they were focusing on heating expenses, this time they focus on car insurance. Both of which would effectively be a subsidy on fossil fuels. Mind you, they're absolutely right about car insurance being inexplicably and unfairly expensive here in Ontario, but I don't really get why this is the hill they want to die on.
