Taubuns is a longtime NDPer, and was a great councillor.
The Beaches is a great riding for him. It's an NDP bastion provincially and municipally, and was held federally until the Liberal sweep in 1993. It has a high "green" factor. (Greenpeace co-founder Bob Hunter ran strong for the Greens in a provincial bi-election a few years ago, but lost to NDPer Michael Prue.)
The Liberal incumbant is ineffectual Maria Minna, and a strong candidate and even a modestly successful national campaign will put this in the win column.
