Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party. We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation. Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.

I’ve never seen Canada’s @NDP in such dire circumstances in my 25+ years following Canadian politics. And yet, the party is poised to elect firebrand leftist @avilewis this weekend rendering Canada’s social democratic party even more irrelevant. Lewis and his band of supporters are anything but moderate Social Democrats — indeed they’re radicals: anti-Canadian energy, anti-Western and anti-Israel verging on anti-Semitic; these are merely some of the adjectives one could reasonably use to describe this iteration of the NDP. As a partisan Liberal, I couldn’t care less if the NDP are intent on becoming even more irrelevant to debates around politics and public policy at this most crucial time in our history. But as a Canadian, which I am always first and foremost, I mourn the essential death of the NDP. The party currently plays a critical role governing (mostly responsibly) in BC and Manitoba and forms a compelling Official Opposition in provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan. The pragmatic “Prairie populism” of Western Canadian provincial New Democrats has always been sensible; but with Avi Lewis at the helm, the federal party is about to take a sharp turn to the radical left leaving a not insignificant rupture between the NDP’s federal and provincial wings. Canada needs a robust, moderate social Democratic Party — especially in this moment. To fight for the unemployed, labour, the working poor and equity seeking groups that are genuinely struggling in an era of fiscal retrenchment. But mark my words: an Avi Lewis-led NDP will always prioritize divisive culture wars over fighting for the interests of everyday Canadians — every time. And that’s a real loss for Canada and social democracy in this country. #cdnpoli

TBH "unsuccessful marriage" doesn't sound any kinder to me than "failed marriage"

It's going to be a socialist party. And you don't have to be one of us. But we are coming for your neighbors, your grandparents, your children, and your students with the dangerous thing called hope #ndp

He's not even won the leadership yet but Avi Lewis is the worst NDP leader in party history. I had disagreements with Mulcair but I still supported the party under his leadership. With the shit show that was Singh and now Lewis? I can't even root for them to remain in parliament.

JP: We heard from former NDP leader Tom Mulcair. He said that you know you should be in the House to take on the Liberals if you want to be a viable opposition leader Avi Lewis: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say that I have no intention of taking advice from Thomas Mulcair

The provincial-federal structure of the #NDP is a huge weakness. And both sections of the parties would be stronger without each other.

It is so weird (wrong) to me that the #NDP doesn't let their whole membership vote for the executive

There's no such thing as provincial overreach into municipal affairs.

Municipalities dragging the provinces to court is such a waste of judicial resources. If the municipality wins, it's just an legislative hurdle for the province. The ruling means that the province wasn't playing by their own rules, not that the municipality has rights. #onpoli

"CPAC" couldn't have more different meanings that it does in Canada versus the USA.

Imo the "collar system" is fucked up classification of real human people.
