      Sorry. Have to keep supporting the checks notes former Governor of the Bank of England for PM, because a vote for NDP/Greens is a vote for the Conservatives (or whatever bullshit equivalent math is needed to keep the hoes in line).

        NDP would be like a dog with 2 dicks, they would have no idea what to do once elected to power. Though a totally overwhelmed party paralyzed by indecision would still be better than what we god.

          Because electing the same two parties worked well so far, right? And they will totally see the light and change their ways, right?

          God forbid we elect a different party

            Here’s hoping he can raise the NDP to Governing level. Sick of the red/blue bs where blue fucks us dry and red fucks us but gives us trinkets

            The man who couldn’t get elected in his riding twice and instead of doing a by-election when he won the party leadership decided yolo? That Avi Lewis? The unelectable one?

            Yes I’m being snide but I’ve voted NDP numerous times. Like PP I see him as someone more enabled to shrink a tent than grow it.

          NO SHIT

          The NDP have historically done well in the provinces where they have unexpectedly formed government. Rae’s time is contentious but outside of Ontario, his methods have been extensively studied and adopted by other governments to deal with similar challenges. He did new things that people haven’t tried before, and they worked. I think that’s what we’re fucking looking for right now.
