Singh just stepped down and hopefully the change will mean more potential for the NDP in the next election.
I'm Indigenous Canadian and I fully wish that we could have a country and a political environment where we could support and stand by a visible minority to represent a major political party. But I have to temper that with the knowledge that our country is not fully ready for that kind of person. As much as we would like to believe that we could become a more progressive, open and accepting culture, we are still not there and it will be a few more decades or lifetimes before that can become a reality.
It would be more possible if we actually had an election system that was more representative of our people's wishes .... Proportional Representation would make it more possible to have major political leaders and politicians who represented visible minorities.
Implying that the NDP wasn’t elected due to their leader being a visible minority is either disingenuous or very misinformed. There are of course bigots in Canada, but most Canadians aren’t bigots.
I always liked Singh as a person, but I feel like NDP needs some change. They are a party focused on throwing shade on other parties. They need their own identity.
Wab Kinew seems to be doing well. But I don't know if MB would give him up.
I like and respect him as a politician, but is he NDP-leaning? He strikes me as more centre.
He's literally the NDP premiere of Manitoba...
Yeah, he's doing great!
That smile of his creeps me out.
No way. His smile is contagious. It just seems odd because its so rare to see a politician with a genuine smile and not a carefully crafted one.
I would honestly love to see Wab Kinew take a run at the federal leadership.
Regardless of how he may have turned his life around, I don't think Canada is ready for a federal leader with a previous criminal record.
Yeah, THAT'S the thing standing between them... [At this time Jerkface began rolling their eyes, and had not yet stopped by the time the comment needed to be submitted.]
I genuinely think that would be far more of a problem than him being indigenous, if that's what you're implying. If he were running for the CPC then yeah of course racism would be a much bigger issue.
