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.

Wab was there clapping and cheering as Avi was announced
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.

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.

I'm guessing he doesn't particularly care about the position of a leader that will never hold power.
My guess is that he is just there to maintain connection to the national party in the event he wants to make a leadership run at a later date.

I suspect that Premier Kiniew might run as a federal liberal. Especially if he actually wants to either form or even lead a federal government.

I don't know, he seems to be doing a good job running Manitoba and is relevant there. He likely will have far more real impact than going federal, where the NDP is a bit of a hopeless mess.

You can identify as a multi-sexed kangaroo now.
Would that slow down or speed up me being issued the new dress uniform?
