I watched the results of the NDP Leadership race with other NDP members in the Nickel 9 Distillery pub. Both the speeches of Don Davies and Avi Lewis were wonderful. I cried. They each described how Canada should be.

The real work for us activists with the NDP begins now.

Here in #Canada, the #NDP is back with @avilewis

Thanks to all of you here on Mastodon who played roles, big and small in making this happen!

I also had a chance to personally thank @votetanille for being the first political figure in #Canada to mention Mastodon (at least twice that I'm aware of) in a public interview :)

A higher proportion of the NDP membership were engaged in this leadership race (compared with previous races). That's great.

Apparently the NDP leaders of both Saskatchewan and Alberta have come out with statements of disapproval of the direction that Lewis wishes to take. Pundits predicted this. It will be interesting to see how Avi Lewis deals with this.
