Leader and Democrats

ndp: I decided to share some of my thoughts in the hopes it contributes to the great debate that invariably happens when New Democrats elect a new leader, according to Rabble. We live in challenging times and any new leader of the NDP will face significant decisions about the direction we take as a party. New Democrats and friends have also asked me who I might support amongst the declared and candidates. I believe the new leader will need to demonstrate their ability to position the NDP as the clear choice of progressive Canadians and the strongest opposition and alternative to right-wing populism. Bold, modern, progressive vision We cannot equivocate on issues of economic inequality, social justice, climate change and the use of fossil fuels and pipelines, or on issues of anti-racism and inclusion in the face of fear and xenophobia against people of colour, people of the Muslim faith, LGBTQ, gender-based discrimination and other targeted communities. If we want a real alternative to the centrism of Justin Trudeau, the NDP leader must present substance and principle in the face of equivocation and contradictions. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
