@ChrisDurrant1 Because I like playing those types of games and I like making those styles of games. There are surprisingly few that don't add a bunch of fluff.

@TheChaosWeeber If you look at the candidates the NDP ran in 2015, the party is able to gather entirely credible people when there is the idea they could win. I remember knocking on doors for a Princeton-educated lawyer in Etobicoke that election...

Only if he runs as a Liberal. The NDP aren’t government material
On the federal level

Wab Kinew becomes Prime Minister before Pierre Poilievre ever does. Bookmark it. We’ll revisit.

@Devon0527 Bad faith arguments are the mother's milk of the current Conservative party.

So one of his mps leaves the party to run for the most left-wing mainstream political party in Canada and your take away is Lewis should moderate his positions? #cdnpoli
HoCStaffer@HoCStaffer
17% of the NDP caucus has left since Avi Lewis became leader. Maybe he should moderate his positions?

@CanadianPolling Is that actually true? This area of Montreal isn't going to be cheering on the latest pipeline announcement.

There goes another NDP MP!
Liberals are going to have a good shot at picking this seat up

@echetus @sheevposter Yeah! All Men are Brothers, you POS! (kidding!)

@sheevposter No, I made a mistake, I meant to write Water Margin

In Chinese literature there's a canonical Four Great Novels (Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber, Romance of the Three Kingdoms).
It turns out they've also made up the idea of Four Great Western Novels, a concept none of us were aware of

@JJ_McCullough Yeah, people will certainly give a crap there is only two kinds of ketchup if it costs 30% less.

I feel like it says something about the pointlessness of the Canadian far-left these days that all the NDP can come up with as a “big idea” is this plan to bring literal Soviet-style grocery stores to Canada. A truly bizarre solution in search of a problem.

@CraigBaird Everyone should read Not Wanted on the Voyage. You'll never look at unicorns the same way again!

@AMacGregor4CML They hate him because he seems like a happy guy. (Literally, more than racism or whatever, I think this is a big part of it).
English
@PJforTO @amneetbali Having talked with Conservatives in friendly, social occasions, it really seems to me that they don't understand that policy outcomes are more important for NDPers than just sticking it to the Liberals.
English
@amneetbali I'm confused as to how, "Leader of the Opposition," is supposedly this great get. Like the NDP was supposed to pull down the government to make way for a CPC government that was antithetical to the things the NDP secured from the LPC?
English
If the choice is dental care for millions of Canadians or this.
I'd choose dental care Canadians every damn time.

@amneetbali If he called an election in 2024 Nov you would be the Digital Director for the Leader of Opposition...

Christine Frechette will win tomorrow's CAQ leadership race because everyone thinks of mom and votes for a woman when a regime's days are dying.

@andrewaperez @avilewis Editorial: Proposing solutions to pressing problems is not constructive.
English
SPOILER: Over the next day or two, I'll have an op-ed appear in a national media outlet arguing that Canada's NDP missed the mark in electing far-leftist @avilewis as leader late last month.
Stay tuned for my take on why this development represents a real loss for Canada's once respectable social democratic movement. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

@LPC_Hack I would like the 2018 Fredericton South results stricken from the record, please!

@CDNprojections As said by others: top reason (tied with another) is the electoral system prevents people from a giving smaller parties full consideration. First Past the Post distorts democratic choice.

@GuberEatz @CanadianPolling Or an indictment of the school system? I imagine most people are not exposed to the idea you could have a different voting system prior to leaving high school, so PR advocates are starting well behind in trying to make their case.
English
@CanadianPolling To me this is an indictment on PR advocates, not an indication that people like FPTP.

@ABSocialDem I ranked him last as well, for a number of reasons. Particularly though, after the AI incident, he just seemed to disappear, and given the challenges the NDP is facing, we need a leader who has presence.
English
@marissenmark I mean Trump clearly counts as a populist, and he comes from a very wealthy background. Are you being willfully obtuse?
English
How, exactly, can a child and grandchild of NDP royalty be a populist?

@TJProvincial Make sure the idea of privatizing MTA comes off the table too. Alumni and friends should sign the open letter: change.org/p/open-letter-…
