This is very disappointing. Heather would be establishment NDP offering nothing new. She would likely support the proposed pipeline being shoved on BC. In the debate all she offered was platitudes and slogans, no policy. Avi provided policy, had some french (which is sadly very important), and is the only real progressive candidate to date.

I don’t know how to feel about Heather McPherson being in the lead in that poll, but I’m glad to see Yves Engler way down in last place where he belongs. Whoever wins it, in addition to not completely stupid policies I hope they’re capable of appearing to be a serious person with things to say that aren’t just sound bites and platitudes. It appears to be what people want for once, which is why we’re stuck with the current prime minister.
