This will mark Canada's demise. An ex Blackrock executive for US-CA relations, he will sell our lives for a quick buck and a place near his mates.

It's almost like a party led by a neoliberal corporate whore banker will do nothing to fight the late stage capitalist oligarchy created by corporations and bankers...

    I'll always respect Singh for choosing the country over his political ambitions when he didn't let the CPC trigger an earlier election. However it didn't work out well for the NDP, this kind of political play looked bad but in reality they put country over politics, which was used against them again and again in the outlets owned by Postmedia.

    That is why Singh and the NDP are great. It isn't about power. It's about service to a country and it's people and that includes self-sacrifice. They are a key part of what makes this country great.

    With that said, an Avi or Rob NDP would probably fare much better during the next election, don't you think?

    I haven't been following the leadership race, I hope they do well in the next election, they're seemly the only party thats main priority has been passing policy thats good for Canadians.

    Those are the choices you're told you have. There are always others.

    The most important thing going on between the US and Canada (the countries in play here) is the renegotiation of CUSMA/USMCA. A savvy business type that knows the US playbook intimately is exactly who I would want at the helm.

    This guy is not being brought up manage social programs or the environment. He is the US ambassador.
