Tabuns Takes Toronto-Danforth

2006_3_30tabuns.gifNo big surprise here but former Councillor and executive director of Greenpeace Peter Tabuns hangs on to the provincial riding of Toronto-Danforth. The NDP has held the riding since the 1960s. Torontoist is watching Jack read out more thankyous than an Oscar acceptance speech. Fortunately there's no orchestra playing telling him to get off the stage.

Despite some talk of former broadcaster Ben Chin giving Tabuns a run for his money it's pretty clear to see that Chin's strong support of the Portlands Mega Project pretty much stymied his run for a seat in Queen's Park. Especially considering popular city councillor Paula Fletcher came out against the project.
