Here’s a news conference that Niki Ashton held on this subject: https://cpac.ca/headline-politics/episode/ndp-mp-niki-ashton-holds-a-news-conference--march-5-2025?id=87acb185-f38c-4c13-b833-2f04d9e9832f

It’s not about the leader. The policies come from the membership, presented by delegates at convention. The NDP is all of us. That’s the only way the NDP succeeds.

You seem to have missed my point. I recommend watching the following documentary (it’s a 4-part documentary, with each part being an hour long):

The Century of the Self

Its focus is primarily Britain and the US, but the underlying message holds true here as well. Ultimately, that message is that without the backing of the people, left wing movements will not succeed. And thinking of it as a “movement” rather than as a “product” is key. You’re treating the NDP as a product to be sold (IE, what’s being put “on the table” is not enough for you to buy). That’s the wrong approach, in my opinion. That viewpoint (of politics being a product to appeal to the public) has led to society slowly but surely moving ever more right.

Supporters need to move away from viewing the NDP as a product that needs a better shine. It’s all of us. We’re a team. That’s the only way the NDP wins.

I myself use a bicycle for local travel, and public transit for longer commutes. Musk’s overpriced EVs are not the solution to global warming, IMO.

FairVote Canada is organizing people, who live in or near ridings that have a Liberal MP, to visit these Liberal MPs and advocate for voting in favour of this Motion (specifically, Motion M-86).
