Why would she do this?

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

I can't believe this sister is running against our brother Axmed Xuseen for Canadian federal elections. She is running against him in the same xaafad that elected him first in 2015 and again 2019. He is a xildhibaan as well as a major minister in Justin Trudeau government.

Now this sister will create division in Soomaali votes. Soomaalis settle this York South-Weston electoral xaafad - which includes the famous Weston/Lawrence intersection - but others like Ghanaians, Jamaicans and Latin America communities also heavily settle.

She can run in Etobicoke North, which includes Dixon xaafad that that has tens of thousands of Soomaalis; this xaafad has another Liberal MP, who is good to Soomaalis, but is not a Soomaali. I would have supported Xaawo if she run in Etobicoke North district.

Personally, I usually vote for NDP, but not this time. Racists, Islamophobes, anti-mask, anti-vax, pro-Covid are all attacking the prime minister on the campaign, some physically, because he welcomes the newcomers, especially Muslims. These racists can't stand that. That is why I am voting for Liberals in order to avoid the Conservatives getting elected to power.

Ha ha ha

lol. Somalis will always try to find opportunities where another Somali is trying to make his mark. She has plenty of other districts she can compete, but chose this one.

Logic and common sense is out of the door when you are dealing with Somali politicians or would politicians. At least those in the diaspora used to be smart and logical, but the Mogadishu syndrome is spreading now every where including Canada.

Last month I was invited in closed door meeting with 20 other Somalis in my town to mediate two Somali would be candidates who wanted to run in the same district for two different political parties. The provincial election was two years away, and none of the two got their party nominations yet. If they run, they will both lose. Furthermore, they were friends. 

Just like most Somali debates, neither of the two acknowledged the other friends logic and case.

She has no chance. Axmed has 60% chance of being re-elected. She has 17% chance.

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

Xaawo couldn't even beat the Con. candidate. NDP historically would be second or first in this riding. Such a useless, wasted campaign.

[maakhiri1]

That 17% was meant to go to Ahmed , Doqontan hala hadlo, mar danbe dadka ha daba gelin! xafadahaa kale baadh baadho.

 

Congrats Ahmed
