The NDP leadership race could be turning into a nail-biter with no clear winner in sight. But it’s unclear if Canadians are tuning in.
But according to party insiders, three are likely bets to become leader: Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis and Rob Ashton.
Lol…no.
As a party you willingly sold yourselves down the river to prevent a Pollievre disaster. While many believed it was necessary (myself included), the consequence of that is that the NDP aren’t even an official party anymore.
We are now effectively a two-party country, and people give the NDP leadership race as much attention as the Green Party.
I think the NDP will be back next election now that all the voters that voted liberal didn’t get what they wanted from the liberals.
People voted Liberal to prevent a conservative government only to get a conservative government with red paint.
I agree. I’m disappointed in the fact that we ended up just voting in a Red Conservative. However, the alternative wasn’t a Blue Conservative…it was MAGA. And quite honestly if the choice were to be made again, even KNOWING FULL WELL that Carney is more Conservative than he let on, I’d do it again to prevent Poppingfresh from turning the country into MapleMAGA land.
And this is just fine. I’ll take a “middle right” liberal instead of a full whack job far right party any day. I’m happy to elect centralist parties that can sit on the fenc for everyone in Canada to some extent.
Yeah, the status quo is going great. Pumping more wealth to the wealthy is swell. Them economics are trickling down like crazy. So much so that the working/middle class is thriving and not being priced out of their homes and left starving.
Boohoo.
Which very likely saved Canada from buying khaki shorts and white New Balances in 2025.
I don’t disagree. Just saying that the price for that sacrifice was to make themselves politically irrelevant. at least in the short term.
“Now”? This country has no clue how to exist in a multi-party system and it’s depressing as hell. We call it “strategic voting” to make ourselves feel better about the fact that we constantly vote against our interests.
A few elections back the NDP got more than half the votes of the Liberals but because our system sucks they got a sixth of the seats. People don’t look at the important numbers, only the seat count, so we all collectively decided to shoot ourselves in the foot so we could elect a conservative instead of a Conservative because our brains are mush.
Getting so fucking tired of Canadian apathy.
