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.

    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.

      Because they think they’re so smart and will vote strategically instead of supporting their beliefs and values. That’s what you get. Own it.
