      Nice, really loving the momentum Avi Lewis’s leadership campaign has been building over the past couple of weeks. I’m genuinely excited about what this could mean for electoral reform, especially given his commitment to make proportional representation the single, firm condition for NDP support the next time the party holds the balance of power. Not more study, not deferral, not a referendum, and not any mechanism that allows the Liberals a backdoor escape, but full implementation. Still miles to go, but it’s encouraging to see where things are headed.

      I look forward to the NDP’s commitment to total irrelevance by continuing down the path of electing leaders far outside the mainstream.

      It won’t matter who the NDP elect. NDP voters will always find a reason that a candidate isn’t „left“ enough for them, and they won’t be happy until they have a candidate that is so far outside of the mainstream, that regular voters won’t vote for them. The NDP is fucked.

      i don’t get how union leaders are so out of touch with their members. i know CUPE is more office workers but the CPC has taken a lot of blue collar support from the NDP. I don’t see Lewis and his support of migrant workers doing much to turn that around.

      I’m sure a lot of NDP voters will be happy w Lewis but I don’t think that excitement will translate over to the rest of the electorate

      NDP will get completely wiped out in the next election. Just another example of an out of touch white “progressive” ramping up immigration while not having to deal with the racist backlash that will follow.

      “We will stop changing rules on people in the middle of the game that punish them and let people renew and access permits according to the rules under which they arrived; Reverse the Carney government’s cuts and hire 3,000 immigration public servants to clear the over one million backlogged applications and reunite families now, not in decades.”

      “Build a single-tier immigration system with permanent resident status for all and equal rights from day one”

      “Protect our Shared Humanity by ending the Canada-US Safe Third Country Agreement because the US is not safe for refugees”

      “Double the number of government-assisted refugees to meet Canada’s humanitarian commitments instead of abandoning people fleeing war and violence”

      Canadas strength is its ability to integrate; overloading the system will give us all the problems that Europe has been dealing with and further exacerbate existing ones. Of course, Avi Lewis will be safe in his ivory tower so this doesn’t matter to him.
