One thought on “Meet The Candidate: Shefaza Esmail, Green Party candidate for Waterloo”

  1. So I just voted green, my sister has made me feel bad that my vote was “wasted” in her opinion voting for anyone other than conservatives is wasted. And in effect a vote for liberals. I was a life long NDP voter till they signed on to the emergency act. And this is the first time I have actually voted since then. I thought the NDP was for the working class people but I see how the platform doesn’t matter once elected. I hold hope that the green party will protect the very soil we stand on, but I won’t hold my breath. Please Shefaza make me proud!
