Ontario NDP expected to recapture Horwath's old Hamilton riding.
Sarah Jama, the candidate for the NDP in Hamilton Centre, is the executive director and co-founder of the Disability Justice Network of Ontario, co-founded the Hamilton Encampment Support Network, is a founding board member of the Hamilton Transit Riders' Union and was previously a senior program co-ordinator at the Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion.
But in a local debate Jama participated in with Liberal candidate Deirdre Pike and Green candidate Lucia Iannantuono -- the Progressive Conservative candidate did not attend -- she was asked by Pike to address the allegations."Things that have been called out online me standing up for Palestinian human rights, and that cannot be conflated with anti-Semitism. And you know, I think I'm not the only one at this table with messy history around anti racism ...
NDP Leader Marit Stiles said Wednesday she has seen that clip and that Jama speaks passionately about issues such as policing and human rights. "I don't think it seems to be resonating much beyond highly partisan individuals," said Adrienne Davidson, an assistant professor of political science at McMaster University.
Horwath resigned from the Hamilton Centre seat, and as party leader, following last June's provincial election that saw the NDP's seat count decrease. She went on to run successfully as mayor of Hamilton.
