Excluding Yves Engler was a mistake.

Yes it was. At the same time, Yves Engler trying to hijack the NDP leadership contest to carry water for Putin was also not any kind of good faith politics.

Yup. And we'd have dealt with that democratically, without appearing undemocratic.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of the (mis)understanders of democracy who thinks what we have in Canada is an effective people's democracy. But if we're to improve material outcomes for people while still doing democracy, I think we need radically more democratic processes not less.

On that account, I'll go have a greek village salad with a warm Metaxa after work, at my local Greek restaurant. 😁

Try Metaxa with ice and orange juice, and maybe a maraschino cherry ;)

Today or in a few months at a patio under an umbrella?

Anything is possible!
