    Fuck it. I just became a member of the NDP so I could vote on their next leader.

    If you want to do the same, here’s the link. It’s minimum 10$/year.

      Several elections ago I joined the CPC to vote in their leader election in the hopes of getting opposition that wasn’t bat-shit crazy. Didn’t work. I’ll join you in the place I belong. Looking forward to seeing the candidates. Too bad Wab Canoe is busy.

          Absolutely. I guess we should let him finish his term though 😔

            Dunno. We’ll see.

            I know Alexandre Boulerice might throw his name in for the position.

              Ooh, he’s trashed Canada’s WWI involvement in 2007 as “a purely capitalist war on the backs of the workers and peasants.” I like him already! 😂

    The NDP needs to electing a humble union rep who cares about worker rights and salaries.

    Jagmeet was a lawyer wearing a rolex and driving a BMW that sit idly by while the government forced unions back to work, as he bragged about providing unfunded scraps while he debased salaries with UN defined wage slaves. Focus on worker rights and housing demand, lift all boats, stop focusing on niche groups while making everyone poorer.

      sit idly by while the government forced unions back to work

      Stop lying about his character when he was regularly speaking up for workers further evidenced by the fact he often joined active picket lines.

        Physically standing with unions, but voting to not stand with unions every single time a union strike was broken up.

        They held the balance of power for years and did nothing about it, did they not?
