On February 2, 2018, ONDY members from BGOS were the largest contingent of the NDP caucus at a model parliament, held at Queen’s Park. I am proud of our youth in two different ways. First, from a global perspective, Michael Johnston built our riding youth organization from nothing to being a very active and effective group within less than two years. This is the reason we had 7 out of the 17-person caucus. Second, on a personal note, my daughter participated in the model parliament. “The model parliament was a good learning experience, and it was a lot of fun,” said my daughter. “(Our) members were very effective at keeping the Ontario liberal government accountable for closing public schools, public-private partnerships and hallway medicine. If these students represent even a fraction of the good work that their adult counterparts plan to do in an NDP government, then come June, Ontario is in good hands. Remember folks just Keep Calm and Vote NDP,” said Michael Johnston
