In less than a decade, she went from an assistant to a Toronto city councilor to overseeing the province's infrastructure and being in charge of the renovation of Ontario Place. It's the traditional story of who you know and not letting "unqualified" affect your career path.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/OntarioElection2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OntarioElection2025</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ONpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ONpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Cronyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cronyism</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://nationalpost.com/news/young-candidate-embroiled-in-controversy-with-doug-ford-has-long-history-with-pc-leader-and-tory-politics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nationalpost.com/news/young-ca</span><span class="invisible">ndidate-embroiled-in-controversy-with-doug-ford-has-long-history-with-pc-leader-and-tory-politics</span></a></p>
