Martin Singh who is a Sikh is “sponsoring” polls in a Sikh Temple and is asking Ontario Members to Vote Here: Martin Singh office AND Malton Gurdwara. The juxtaposition is just too obvious.

Donating that space would be something I’d be really wary of with the charities I work with. Better safe and non-partisan than to risk losing the status.

The NDP, Liberals and Conservatives all have nomination meetings and other meetings at churches, synagogs and temples on a regular basis. Sometimes they pay to rent the space, sometimes they’re just allowed to use it.
