Desmond Cole joins Lewis in the Toronto Beaches—East York by-election to take a look at how the party’s rebuild is panning out.

Dear Mr. Lewis,
I live in Selkirk Interlake where we have been stuck with the ineffectual James Bezan for what seems like forever. But every election cycle we get three unknowns opposing him, whom he brushes aside with little effort. He is glib, looks fit, dresses well and has the Ottawa vibe down pat. After the election his erstwhile opponents vanish and the cycle repeats.
What we need is a candidate from the NDP who will be supported by the party for at least 2 election cycles, attends every event where Bezan speaks and challenges his shallow Conservative cant. That is the only way we are going to get rid of this useless place holder in Parliament and get somebody in who might accomplish something for our riding.
Best regards,
Geoff
