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.
We haven’t had a promising NDP leader since Jack Laydon. When you get another guy like him I might start giving a fuck.
I’m pretty sure my hope in the Canadian government died with Jack Layton. My younger eyes viewed him as the most human politician compared to the others. I don’t know if it was true, I was only just becoming politically aware at that time but that’s how felt at the time.
Sadly my hope in this government and country has never recovered. All I see is a growing mountain of disappointments.
Same my friend.
I think if you listen to Avi you will see he has passion and drive delivered with a charisma that has been lacking in recent NDP leaders since Jack… I like Avi and his vision. Give him a listen if you can, you will like him.
I had the opposite reaction. He did not seem at all relatable. I like his vision, but feel like he has a hard time articulating it in simple terms.
