Emotions filled the NDP’s room at the Delta as the poll numbers came in during Thursday night’s Provincial Election.
As the final numbers were coming in, showing the PC taking the lead 13,498 to 13,084, a teary-eyed Michele McCleave-Kennedy stood up to address the crowd, thanking everyone for their unwavering support.
“As all the volunteers are aware, it’s been a busy campaign, and I’m very excited that we came as close as we did and I just want to thank everyone in the room for all your work and all you support; it’s been throughout this whole campaign,” she said.
“Thank you to the riding association – and we have some change in here, in Sault Ste. Marie. We have people that have come out and been excited about what we’re talking about, and in four years we’ll be there again and you’ll be there too, to make sure we are. You’ll be there to make sure there is change in Sault Ste. Marie. So, now, as things go on, and I still sit as labour council president, I’ll still sit on the provincial committees I sit for health and safety, I just am so excited to see so many people here, and thank so many people for all the hard work you’ve done and all the support there’s been throughout this whole campaign. I couldn’t have done it without all of you and I’m going to come around and hug everybody.”
“I will be leaving in a little bit – I will go over and talk to Mr. Romano, and congratulate him on a hard-fought campaign, and I’m glad to see that we were as close as we were and this was such a hard fought campaign based on everybody’s efforts. Thank you again so much.”
McCleave-Kennedy spoke with ONNTv after her speech. She said, although she’s disappointed by the results, the fact that the numbers were so close does say something for all of the hard work her and her volunteers did throughout the campaign.
“I would definitely do this again,” she said.
And you will lose again…..đđ
Not after ford pisses off everybody getting a post secondary education…the ones who didnât vote because their vote âdoesnât matterâ.
Too be fair, she lost by 500 votes, so if 251 of the people who voted PC were proactive and actually researched literally anything instead of saying âWynne bad, we want new guyâ, then she wouldnât have lost
To be fair if anyone who voted NDP and were proactive and actually researched literally anything instead of saying âwhereâs my free stuffâ then she wouldnât have got a vote
To be fair if anyone would have researched mini Trump instead of saying yay 1.00 beers he would not have gotten in
PC won by a landslide, the voices of Ontario were heard loud and clear, “we want change”….Liberals were so bad, they lost their status, simply because Wynne screwed each and every Ontarian. As for the NDP, well they’re just cute…they try so hard year after year, yet Ontarians see right through their garbage.
Robyn Hunter if he half is good is trump . I hope so. We need someone that has some guts. Wynne was a mini Hillary. And she had I go. Nice to see her gone!
Ali N Ron Rowlinson sorry but you are delusional… like I told you before hope to heck no one in your family has to have any treatments for anything because he will be cutting back on health care and education
Robyn Hunter who make you the smart one. đ
We never will agree. I have my opinion but mine don’t matter and the nice come back is the insults. Common Robyn Hunter. I tought you were better than that. đ
