2026 NDP Leadership Race & Pick

Yikes, this is already ugly.

I await word from Wab Kinew now.

Oh man I didn’t even think of Wab. Yeah, important moment for him depending on his ambitions.

EDIT TO ADD: Oh, apparently he’s already self identified as a Lewis supporter.

I await word from Wab Kinew now. Marit Stiles I think is 50/50 right now, with Ford losing popularity she might capitalize on this to secure more support in Ontario.

Thanks, I’d missed that. I won’t pretend I was lying close attention to the NDP leadership.

We'll see how long that lasts. Avi's immigration stance is pretty much poison in this current political climate.

I don't know if he did because it was the appropiate in the moment thing to do or if he genuinely happy Avi was selected.

The not cisgendered men and equity-seeking groups have spoken.

The winner:

A cisgendered man not from an equity-seeking group.

A party that has been accused of leaving behind its working class roots and cleaving to the cultural elites doubles down.

I guess I'm missing the point. Some 'equity card' has no value outside of the convention. Well, duh.

There was another clip where the convention chair was correcting a speaker for using the term 'Madame Chair' when it should be 'They Chair' or 'Them Chair'. There have been a few other that seem to show it was a bit of a freak show.

Wab has been talking about energy moving through the port in Churchill. I look forward to see how that squares with Mr Lewis' vision.

Not sure why the poster states “Canada is in bigger trouble than I thought”. As long as the NDP goes that far into delulu land, there’s no hope of them having an influence on how the country is governed.
