We didn't have much choice. PP is such a pushover that he would have speedrun us into the US. We were between a rock and a hard place and both choices were shite. Too bad the NDP couldn't stop sucking off JT while he was in office. They ruined our chances of having a real opposition.
I'll always respect Singh for choosing the country over his political ambitions when he didn't let the CPC trigger an earlier election. However it didn't work out well for the NDP, this kind of political play looked bad but in reality they put country over politics, which was used against them again and again in the outlets owned by Postmedia.
That is why Singh and the NDP are great. It isn't about power. It's about service to a country and it's people and that includes self-sacrifice. They are a key part of what makes this country great.
Yeah, it's a shame because thats the kind of leadership we need, especially now.
With that said, an Avi or Rob NDP would probably fare much better during the next election, don't you think?
I haven't been following the leadership race, I hope they do well in the next election, they're seemly the only party thats main priority has been passing policy thats good for Canadians.
If you have 25 bucks to spare (or 5 if unemployed) you should register to vote for a leader. There are better and worse options on the roster. So votes matter.
Always a choice.
Not last time. It was "do Canadians want to become the CNMI now, or in a year?"
Those are the choices you're told you have. There are always others.
Like what? Is there a plan?
What are the assumptions you're making about what constitutes an option?
