"It’s time working families got a fair deal. Dalton McGuinty’s record has been one broken promise after another. But he still found time to give himself a $40,000 pay raise. That’s someone who has lost touch with working families. We deserve better.

"I’m proud to stand with Howard Hampton – a leader who is upfront, honest, and principled. You know you can count on us to stand up for seniors, children, parents, and working people.

"This time, ask yourself ‘Which leader and party can I count on to fight for a fair deal for working families?’

"I hope I can count on your support on October 10."

He is a trained teacher who has worked as the manager of youth programs for the Malvern Community Resource Centre, along with groups like the Malvern Community Coalition, the Community Use of Schools Council, the Toronto Coalition for Equity in Education and the City of Toronto Youth Gang Work Group.

Neethan’s dedication to youth and to public education led to a successful run for Public School Trustee in the York Region District School Board. As a public school trustee, Neethan witnessed first-hand how Dalton McGuinty’s under-funding of our education system is hurting students, and is committed the championing the Scarborough’s youth.

Neethan is committed to fighting for fairness for students and their families, and is running as the NDP’s candidate in Scarborough-Guildwood because of his disappointment over Dalton McGuinty’s broken promise to fix the education funding formula.
