Ted Hsu

Um, so as you mentioned, to date $1.7 million has been raised across all of the candidates.

Just for context, compared to this time, uh, at the end of September, uh, in 2023, about 1.9 million had been raised by Bonnie Crombie, Yasir Naqvi, uh, Ted Hsu, and Nate Erskine-Smith.

Um, and obviously, uh, and obviously, uh, that, you know, what has been raised so far is a bit lower than that.

Um, but obviously this, this race has also gone on a bit longer.

And so that question presupposes a debate that hasn't occurred.

The second is, Andrew, I'm reminded of, uh, as the, one of the lead-in speeches that Kathleen Wynne did at the 2023 leadership event where we announced the results.

She went up on stage and she said, "I'm a Dalton McGuinty liberal, a Bonnie Crombie liberal, a, uh, a Yasir Naqvi liberal, a Nada Espin Smith liberal, a Ted Hsu liberal, so on and so forth.

A, you know, a Adil Shamji liberal." She, her point being, I'm a liberal, and we should all be liberals.
