The NDP leadership race could be turning into a nail-biter with no clear winner in sight. But it's unclear if Canadians are tuning in.

But according to party insiders, three are likely bets to become leader: Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis and Rob Ashton.

My problem with the modern NDP is that I’d be happy voting for 2 out of the 3 frontrunners but as soon as I say which ones some random fellow NDP supporter will come out of nowhere to skewer me.

    Well, Heather McPherson is campaigning explicitly on stamping that behaviour out.

    Good. I want a strong workers rights and social safety net party without having to acknowledge 15 causes in every statement in the preamble.

    Edit: that’s hyperbole and I respect the land acknowledgements on unceded territory.
