His campaign was basically a trick. We dodged Poilievre's clueless reactionary Trumpism-lite, but got conservatism by other means. Corporate-friendly centrist liberals who don't deliver for the people will never stave off fascism for long. Canada and the UK are both in this position right now. We need electoral reform that would allow smaller parties to get a foothold and prove themselves. Under current conditions the first-past-the-post system seems to guarantee a slow drift into the jaws of the far right.
The Liberals will never give us electoral reform though, and the smaller parties are now too small to be able to force their hand. If the NDP can remember to be a left party and find a leader with broad appeal, then maybe things could be different for the election after the next one.
The true opposition does not wear convenient colors and wave flags, the opposition is the people with power and money. Our opposition is not stupid. They played us well and make it feel like our fault. Democracy doesn't matter when they only allow two choices and they control both choices.
Recall that Jagmeet "Singh" was actually from the upper crust of Indian social structure. His actual family name is Dhaliwal.
He was never on our side.
