    Ndp needs a stronger leader, not some clown who cries racism or similar every time he’s backed into a corner

    Just imagine where we’d be if Jack Layton was still with us

      Honestly, we’d be in a better spot if Tom Mulcair was still in charge. Or, if Charlie Angus had won instead.

      Singh is okay, if you’re campaigning in the heady days of 2015-2019. He’s not the person you want now; you want an empathic economic populist–the Canadian equivalent to Sanders, if you will.

      Singh isn’t that. Layton wasn’t, either. Layton did well because the Bloc and Liberals both collapsed and Harper had a natural vote ceiling.
