With Charlie Angus leaving, I’m curious if North Eastern Ontario will stay NDP. I hear a lot of people support the conservative party.
Who will replace him?
I’m in the region and myself and everyone I know have gotten text spam from the CPC last week and for the past month or so our local news has been heavy with editorials and CPC features pumping themselves up. I don’t think Sudbury has had a proper poll done in any of the past elections other than maybe mayoral, would be interesting if anyone bothers to fund one this round.
I hear a lot of pro-CPC in the area too. I think there may actually be a shift.
I really can’t understand how Jagmeet has been allowed to lead for so long with the results he’s had and Charlie didn’t even get a shot.
And then there’s this. How do NDP members defended him barely beating Niki Ashton.
And yet, in the end, the result was not even close. Angus — with 19 per cent of the vote — not only finished more than 30 points behind Singh, he barely beat Niki Ashton (17 per cent) for second place.

It’s really, really hard to say. Charlie Angus’ riding and the other NDP-held riding up here have been redrawn by the last redistricting. The other current NDP MP in the area, Carol Hughes, is also not running for re-election. Both of them have held their posts for quite a long time, so there may be enough lingering pro-NDP sentiment in the far north to get their successors elected.
Most of the other ridings are currently Liberal-held, with at least one of those incumbents not running for re-election either. I have no idea what direction anything’s going to jump in. It may come down to who the candidates are, as much as anything about the parties.
Inrespect Charlie, but presently NDP is doing poorly countering PP ascendance
He didn’t say CPC couldn’t win, he said PP was gonna be a shit leader.
I mean the fact he refuses to get security clearance to find out who may or may not be a fox in the henhouse…that right there says enough for me to believe that having him in charge would be catastrophic.
Translation: He’s the fox, knows the fox, or is under the influence of the fox, already knows, and he’s TOTALLY fine with it because it confers money or power on him.
That’s my personal assumption too
I didn’t say that either 😉 However there’s plenty of evidence suggesting PP is on a winning trajectory and NDP having abysmal chances of winning either majority or form minority government
Sorry, your original sentence was quite difficult to parse, it’s possible I misunderstood!
But yes, unfortunately the CPC is winning at the moment.
He is not WEF-trained
How is this a bait - comparing to the evil globalists with performative reformist policies that are factually neo-liberal, even PP is better.
Ignore the bait folks…
As strong as Pollievre seems, he is still very much beatable but only from the right. All attacks and criticisms of Pollievre have been 100% exclusively from the left, those will never stick. But if someone goes at him hard from the right, he does have some wide gaps.
right wing learned to consolidate (US, Alberts, and now… BC with Libs just plain converting to Con) Left does not and under present electoral system Left will be in disadvantage in perpetuity. (I know Libs are not left, but they are further Left than Cons)
There is a difference, sometimes a large difference, between liberal and leftist, but yes they are both to the left of conservative. It’s too bad that the Conservative party does not allow for libertarian voices. I suspect that the powers in charge of the Conservative party are strictly right wing and only tolerate conservative individuals so that the party can keep its prestige but block libertarianism because that could bring too much transparency.
Through context I’m pretty sure by Libertarian you mean the modern American definition…not the original definition. If you mean the original definition, I have no idea why a classic Libertarian would even want to join the Tories… seeing as originally a Libertarian was closer in ethos to an anarchist than the current cryptobro, I want to remove just enough government oversight to diddle kids and do meth… actually even modern Libertarians wouldn’t align with the Torie nanny state policing people’s bedrooms. The only thing they probably agree on is checking children’s genitals so “boys can’t play girl sports”… Just saying.
I think I can agree to some of what you say, I distinguish it as being the difference between right libertarian vs left libertarian. While they both agree on cutting government regulations, cutting government soending, cutting government power, I would argue that a right libertarian has more in common with a conservative, although also some very large differences, than a right libertarian has in common with a left libertarian.
