I agree that the party needs more aggressive leadership but as a person of colour I can guarantee Jagmeet's already weakening support would tank if he was seen as anything less than a model minority. Racist people don't want to see any brown man lead the country, much less an angry brown man.

That's a good point. It's infuriating that racism has an effect on our politics like this. Really what this says is: no matter what Jagmeet says or does, he's not electable because of his skin colour, and that's fucked.

I was an NDP supporter for a long time, until Mulcair started doing insane things like dragging the party to the right. Now I vote Green, since they're the only party that seems to care whether there is a world for my kid to grow up in, but I would come back to the NDP in a heartbeat if I saw them genuinely fighting for the planet and workers again. But it's the fighting I want to see.
