I'm with you on all these points and concerns. I'm just reading the tea leaves and hoping it won't be another austerity shit show. There are positive signs but there are also negative signs (he said "we can't redistribute what we don't have"). We won't know which ones are slogans and which ones are real policy beliefs until he says more or becomes a PM. In the end, it seems like Freeland and PP are worse and Jagmeet is unelectable judging by the polls.

In my riding the NDP candidate takes about 10% every election and they're now polling at 5%. So for me the choice is even simpler. If the race in your riding is CPC/NDP then perhaps yours is simple too. ☺️

That's a shame. I think the NDP is that we've needed for a long time. Since Harper left. But if even Jack Layton couldn't get the NDP elected, I don't know what will.

I think if Layton had ran in the subsequent elections instead of Mulcair and Jagmeet, he'd have made government instead of Trudeau.

Yeah. If he didn't have that cancer...

It's unfair.
