Toronto Centre: Chrystia Freeland

Chrystia Freeland: The Liberals picked Chrystia Freeland to fly their banner in the riding of Toronto Centre, while the New Democrats selected Linda McQuaig both political rookies, according to Huffington Post. Canada's at a tipping point, she said. The economy is changing and only the "companies and the people who figure that out who grasped that this is a consequential moment, are going to make it." TORONTO - Two celebrated authors and former journalists will be going head-to-head in an upcoming Toronto byelection, a race that's expected to show whether the Liberals or New Democrats will likely emerge as the alternative to the Conservatives in the next national battle royale. Freeland, who came under fire from McQuaig before her victory was even declared, wouldn't take the bait, saying only that she was looking forward to the race and the chance to defeat the governing Conservatives in the 2015 general election.
