Looks like Lost in Bruce County needs to apologize to Horwath.

I think the moderators should contemplate some action here if that doesn't happen. Lying is not cool.

Evelyn Myrie, owner of an art shop and the co-chair of Hamilton's Black History Committee, announced her decision to try to replace outgoing MPP David Christopherson yesterday.

"We have good representation right now and I'd like to carry that mantle and have a strong voice at Queen's Park," Myrie said. "Ontarians deserve access to affordable housing, quality education and health care, child-care and affordable public power."

Wayne Marston, public school board trustee and head of Hamilton's labour council, announced his intention to run last week.

Myrie said she would be "a people's politician -- someone who listens to the public, validating their concerns."

Ward 2 Councillor Andrea Horwath chose not to throw her hat in the ring for the NDP Hamilton West nomination, but threw her support behind Myrie instead.

"She is a bright, energetic woman who brings many perspectives to the table that will only enrich the debate," Horwath stated in the release.

The provincial election is expected next spring.
