On a quiet residential street in Scarborough Southwest, Ontario NDP candidate Fatima Shaban pauses at a front step, clipboard in hand, scanning for a doorbell.
It’s the kind of neighbourhood she says she has never really left: same riding, same streets, same sense of familiarity. But the conversations she is having now are about a very different version of that life: rising rents, strained schools, and a health system she says too many families are quietly struggling to navigate.
Between knocking on doors, Fatima tells QP Briefing why she decided to put herself out there.
