Episode 366 – Deep dive into the NDP leadership race

Sandy and Nora break down their thoughts on the NDP leadership race.

Disappointed to see the #NDP leadership race kick off with "dirty" mudslinging. Received an email from the Heather McPherson campaign today that felt undemocratic and divisive—exactly what we don’t need on the first day of voting.
We need a leader who can unite the party, not one who relies on insider attacks to tear down fellow candidates. Let's keep this race about vision and policy, not petty politics.

The federal #NDP made the right call by rejecting Yves Engler's leadership candidacy. Not only are his policies too radical for my liking, but his unprofessional candour throughout does not belong in such positions of power. #cdnpoli #ndpldr www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

The party cited concerns about intimidation of politicians and echoing of Russian state propaganda, which Mr. Engler disputes

34 reactions · 18 shares | The United Steelworkers union is proud to endorse Rob Ashton to be the next leader of the federal New Democratic Party ✊🍊 Workers need a leader who is right for this moment — someone who doesn’t just talk about the challenges working people face, but has lived them, fought for progress, and delivered real results. Rob is that person. Steelworkers know what real leadership looks like: standing up to corporate greed, defending workers under attack, and making sure no one gets left behind. In Rob, we see a leader who will grow union jobs, protect our industries and fight for working people from coast to coast to coast.

Some say: Horserace polling now? Why? No election coming. Maybe but a) It’s a minority Parliament. Elections can happen anytime. b) Parties poll all the time. You should have the same data they do. c) Current voting intentions have clear impact on party dynamics, e.g. you think next to no contestants for #NDPLdr is an accident? Look at their numbers! #cdnpoli
