OTTAWA — Monday morning, NDP MP Leah Gazan (Winnipeg Centre) wrote a letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons to notify him that New Democrats request an emergency debate on the devastating wildfires in Manitoba and across the Prairies.
They had Mulcair, a great and charismatic speaker with a penchant for dunking on Harper in the house, from the ‘right’ region of Canada. They went another way.
Not unless they get another Jack Layton type person, then maybe if they become the opposition or maybe the official government.
Exactly. Get someone that catches people’s interest. Then the news will be all over them.
The NDP (and us) need a left-left of centre to draw in those who believe in a social democracy and will fight tooth and nail for it.
That would preclude having anyone like Jack, who had moved the party closer to centre before his death.
