I'm Raiden DeDominicis. I'm running for Parliament because nobody else will say what needs to be said — about grocery prices controlled by three companies, gambling ads targeting your kids, and a government that let your privacy bill die.
I'm 29 years old. I'm running as an independent because this riding deserves someone who will actually say what needs to be said — not what a party tells them to say.
55% of University-Rosedale rents. Three companies control 60% of your grocery bill. The privacy bill died in Parliament and nobody replaced it. Your kids are being bombarded with sports betting ads every time they watch hockey.
The Liberals have been in power for a decade. Housing got worse. Groceries got more expensive. Domestic flights cost more than going to Europe. And Loblaws got caught fixing bread prices for 14 years.
“I have my own platform and my own voice. I can talk about things that party candidates aren't incentivized to talk about.”

One simple test
I'm 29. I'm the proof.
I'm 29. I studied at Queen's University. I write a blog that's “not for kids — you've been warned.” I think about protein shakes and existential questions in the same breath.
I'm running as an independent because I want to talk about things parties won't touch — grocery monopolies, gambling ads, tech regulation, and why young people don't run for office.
I answer to this riding, not a party whip.

Erik and I started this podcast to connect with people and share real stories. We cover everything — geopolitics, disability, pop culture, class warfare, and now the campaign trail.
Episodes 51–56 document my entire run for Parliament in real time — from collecting signatures on the streets of Toronto to getting on the ballot. No filter, no spin. Just the honest reality of running as an independent.

This is your chance to send a message.
In a by-election, the government doesn't change — but your voice gets louder. Every vote for an independent is a vote that says the old way isn't working. Vote for someone who answers to this riding, not a party whip.
