The NDP reminds us today that when presented with a woman with a solid track record of electoral success AND a rich white establishment guy, whose Daddy had the job before, they won't choose the woman. #cdnpoli #ndpldr

And that voice, according to Avi Lewis, is a millionaire, third generation politician who has attempted, and failed, to win a seat in the House of Commons on two separate occasions. Worth pointing out the absurdity of this 99% talking point. Super out of touch with reality, I think. #CDNpoli #NDPldr

Not seeing too many who believe anyone but Avi Lewis will be walking out of this weekend as the NDP Leader. I can't recall a scenario where any party has made their leader a person who could not win their own riding... twice. Poilievre did hold on after one loss, admittedly. #CDNpoli #NDPLdr

Watching the #NDPLdr debate, just to see. After the intros, it seems McPherson is serious, Lewis is evangelical, Ashton is a dude's dude, Johnston is running for High School President, and a farmer is really leaning in to the stereotype in a weird way. #CDNpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy6_...

The #NDPLdr front-runner, Avi Lewis, is essentially a political nepo-baby who came in third place in each of the two elections he attempted previously. Really would love it if Canadian (and American) voters stopped with the family dynasty thing. The second one is almost always worse than the first.

Holy moly, what a weak field for the NDP Leadership. I remember when Jack Layton passed, the field was full of really interesting candidates like Nathan Cullen and Charlie Angus, not to mention Mulcair. This group? Yikes. #CDNpoli #NDPldr www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

So far, the clear frontrunner so far is Avi Lewis:
- 49% of all leadership donations
- Only he has donors in every province/territory
- More donors in ON than other candidates nationwide
- 77% of donors gave $100 or less

"Grocery cartels are...price fixing...colluding..."
NDP leadership candidate @avilewis.ca says government-owned grocery stores would knock prices down 30-40%. Thoughts?

Sorry, but this indicative of what's wrong with the federal NDP. They should acknowledge that this was their loss, not something concocted by forces outside their control. The leadership race, also, has failed to grab Canadians' attention. #CDNpoli #NDP #NDPLdr www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

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...

Avi Lewis was asked to sum up the future of the labour movement in one word.
His answer? “General Strike.”
And he’s right. That’s the future — solidarity, worker power, and real change.
📺 Watch the reaction on No Power Panel.

8/11 #HeatherMcPherson, an Edmonton MP, is the "presumed front-runner."
She is broadly seen as the "establishment candidate," with backing from key party organizers and, notably, from former Alberta Premier #RachelNotley.

2/11 First is #RobAshton, the "dark horse" and president of the #ILWU Canada.
He's a B.C. dockworker, not a "policy wonk."
"I talk like I talk at work. I'm not gonna bullshit you," he told CBC.
He is seen as a "raw, unvarnished and grounded" persona.

PS: Provincial NDP parties vary, in that some are legitimately working to achieve something tangible in their own right, like in both Alberta and British Columbia. I don't deny that. Federally, however, I don't know think they're actually helping anyone. #CDNpoli #NDP #NDPLdr

Always interesting to see what New Democrats are saying about the future, and the recent past, of their party. My ongoing issue with the NDP is that they exist as contrarians, usually serving only to elect conservative governments. #CDNpoli #NDP #NDPLdr www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U20...

🇨🇦 ACTIVIST & FILMMAKER AVI LEWIS LAUNCHES FEDERAL NDP LEADERSHIP BID 🇨🇦
A prominent left-wing figure & scion of an #NDP dynasty enters the race with a fiery anti-corporate message, aiming to rebuild the struggling party from the ground up.

Horserace polling now? Why? a) Minority Parliament. 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

This was an extremely interesting read, dealing with the legal and financial challenges facing the NDP. I respectfully disagree with FVC that proportional rep would have been a game changer but I do think the NDP deserves this after the way they have behaved in the last years. #CDNpoli #NDP #NDPLdr
