Fucking preach.

Jack Layton's death set the NDP back decades. I don't despise Singh, but he's got the personality of a potato. PP is bat shit crazy, and a fucking snake. Trudeau is inept.

I'm pretty left leaning: I align with a lot of NDP principles, but dislike their approach and delivery, so I default to liberal.

It'd be nice to have some decent candidates, not this microcosm of the race to the bottom the US is having.

Yes, I miss Layton

I don't know why the NDP hasn't come out swinging with a platform of no tax increases for the middle class, we're going to bolster healthcare and take it off the hands of small businesses to turn it into a real benefit of doing business in Canada, and make it easier for small businesses to start up and compete, so your jobs aren't going away.

Give the average Joe job security, health security, and real opportunity, and then see how excited people can get.

The NDP has been absolutely abysmal at advertising their platform. Many view them as a rotted-out crutch of the Liberals and the NDP seems to be just fine with that. It blows my mind in this landscape where Canadians are basically just asking for a rational leader.
