I hate strategic voting and I’m holding my nose and voting for Carney anyway to keep Polievre out. I wish the NDP wasn’t such a mess. But I don’t want Canada to get into bed with the orange rapist.

    It’s just my little joke.

    I would like the NDP to get a new leader. I don’t dislike Jagmeet, but things have not gone well. My kingdom to resurrect Jack Layton.

        Don’t forget that Layton was the one who moved the NDP closer to centrist.

        Tommy Douglas would be apoplectic at what the CCF/NDP has become.

          Jack Layton died as he was hitting some of his highest points of popularity, which leaves the trajectory of his plan as literally and fundamentally unknowable.

          In May, the NDP, for the first time, won enough seats to form official Opposition, and then in August, Jack Layton died of cancer.

          You never knew Tommy Douglas or how we would react to the situation, don’t use his name to disparage Jack Layton. That is horizontal violence at best.

            No, I didn’t know Tommy Douglas. But I did grow up in Saskatchewan and my grandfather, who ran in a provincial election for the CCF, did know him. Having heard stories from my grandpa I feel safe in saying what I did.

            Maybe you should ask before assuming.
