@RosieBarton loved your interview with Liberal candidate @cafreeland. Your questions were great and you professional held her accountable. She never answers anyone's questions without dodging. This is the first interview I have seen her answer.

Can't believe how big Gore Park Line for people experiencing hunger and homelessness was today. This panorama doesn't do it Justice. The crisis is only getting worse. So many are helping but we still ran out of food. Politicians need to step up and soon. #Cdnpoli #Onpoli #HamOnt
