      Loss of seats.

      Here I am hoping the right finally takes a reality pill and give us some healthy competition and instead, the NDP doubles down on being even more unreachable.

      “The activist and filmmaker steps into a role”

      Yeah exactly what Canada needs, an activist politician.
      They’ve voted to make themselves even more irrelevant to the needs of Canadians.

      Another nail in the ndp coffin. I’m not sure they learned much after the last federal election.

      It means most likely another floor cross for the liberals. If any NDP that holds a seat , now is the excuse to jump.

      This is one of the NDP insiders that forced out Mulcair. That went well…I am sure this will go better. /s

      The Leap Manifesto will be the Federal NDP’s epitaph.

      That the party stalwarts think that kind of politics is what Canada is calling out for in 2026, really speaks to how desperately out of touch they are.

      Just watched him winning. What flag was up on stage ? The palestinian flag and a member wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh. If the NDP wants to win seats again and be the pro union party. It’s time for them to understand that a lot of workers and union members are not left wing radicals.

      Focus on equality, workers rights, reducing the cost of living, crime and figuring out healthcare with the provinces.

      Leave the international politics to maintaining a functional and professional army that can defend our territories, deploy on UN or Nato missions. We can support allies that have a vested interest in fighting our enemies(Ukraine, Taiwan) and not meddling in northeast Africa and south/west asia anymore.

      Listened to Avi, kinda like Carney his win was obvious.
      However it was also obvious is he is not the right candidate lol.

      He has the french and all the other basic stuff but his policies are too much of a shock. Rob Ashton was probably the practical choice but he lacks the basics required.

      Heather seemed like the reasonable balance.

      Can we just shut down the NDP already?

      If you want to understand how far they’ve gone down the pit of insanity, watch the videos of the convention where people of different minority groups (sorry, I mean „equity deserving“) argue with each other over whose equity card should take priority. Literal equity cards.

      It means the party will finally take clear stances on things and won’t compromise its principles.

      That’s a good thing.

      One thing I don’t see people acknowledging is that the NDP shouldn’t be preparing for an election in 2026, because there isn’t going to be one. Lewis will be head of the NDP for the 2029 election, and trying to assume that what is relevant in 2026, will be in 2029 seems difficult with how fast the world is changing.

      No one can predict the world we will be in in 2029, and some of Avi’s views may be perceived by the public very differently then than they are now.

      It means the NDP brand is as inconsequential as ever. Especially in Alberta. A dated and divisive ideology that has never proven successful.

    17. SomeDumRedditor on

      What does it mean? That they’re completely cooked.

      I am firmly on the left, have volunteered my time for NDP before, once I read that policy statement from Avi on his/his party’s approach to immigration and international students I was done.

      The Avi NDP plans to use power to put citizens somewhere near the back while enacting polices that show a fundamental misunderstanding of Canadian socioeconomic conditions. The Avi NDP has zero intent on pursuing any big ticket left-item like: IMP/LMIA/TFW reform, electoral reform, true public housing, equitable wealth taxation, scrapping gun buyback, national capex projects outside O&G, police reform….

      The Avi NDP thinks the solution to suppressed wages and labour-power is giving TFW’s PR and reforming the immigration system to be one entry-to-PR+reuinification pipeline. The Avi NDP want much more immigration at the same time. They believe that unspecified infrastructure improvements will offset the added strain on systems – improvements that work on decade timelines.

      The Avi NDP continue their magical thinking with the education file. Somehow their Government would force tuitions between international students and citizen-students to be at parity. *Somehow* the end result is mass Provincial compliance and education spending with institutions that don’t massively raise citizen-student tuitions to find the equilibrium cost.

      Just as with the Conservatives where the lunatics have been running the asylum for some time, the NDP is now headed by the faction of the party that thinks they’re a social-justice movement focused foremost on immigrant rights.

      The NDP are done.

      Liberals must love this news. The NDP will be permanently wiped out come next election with this goofball. They literally looked at Singh and said “We can go dumber.”

      Another Anti-nuclear NDP party, the climate is too important to me and NPG is an important stopgap until we develop denser/cheaper/safer storage

    21. Alone-Bug4328 on

      He’s probably the worst thing for the NDP. I’d be very surprised if he could get better traction with voters

    22. Lyricalvessel on

      it means the end of the NDP as we knew, and the beginning of a fringe party

    23. theazn35 on

      Honestly flying the Palestine flag and having no Canadian flag in sight probably did it for me with this party and I’m not even a NDP supporter. Imagine if he loses a bye-election that really would be GG for this party

      He prob going to boot out anyone that doesn’t align with him and the ppl he surrounds himself with within the party. He has history doing that so wondering who be the first.

    24. Hawkeye_Swift on

      He means my traditionally rural NDP riding remains in red or blue hands for the foreseeable future. 

      Currently blue, leaning red due to Carney riding high and avoiding all culture wars and divisive identity politics. 

    25. supermau5 on

      The NDP have lost the plot. have you seen the videos coming out of the leadership convention. these people are actually insane

    27. Geeseareawesome on

      There were no clear standouts in this. I don’t think a single one of the options was what we need right now.

    29. above_thetreeline on

      It’s so unfortunate that Canada has lost the reasonable third party. I’d have voted for an NDP with Ashton at the helm, same with MacPherson. But Lewis? Fuck that, he’s going to divide and turn away a lot of potential supporters.

    30. chinesebulk on

      I was hoping NDP would recover someday…. Seems like it won’t be happening any time soon

    32. halisray on

      NDP is a laughing stock. Those video clips of their convention were next level concerning.

    33. manniesalado on

      It’s surprising, considering how many Canadians are struggling, the NDP does not do better.

    34. Unfortunate_Sex_Fart on

      I saw some clips of the conference and let me just say, I’m glad all those people have one single place in which they can associate with one another, and we can observe.

    35. kantong on

      As someone who has voted NDP, I can’t see myself doing it again after watching the convention this weekend. If Avi gets to implement even half of his platform, this country is cooked.

    37. Rebound4july on

      How did Mark Carney get so lucky as to have Avi Lewis and Pierre Poilievre as his two rivals?

    39. BlastingBegins on

      Watching a video of the NDP convention has filled me with disgust. They are just clowns tripping over each other to talk about privilege, they are completely unserious
