The NDP leadership race could be turning into a nail-biter with no clear winner in sight. But it’s unclear if Canadians are tuning in.

But according to party insiders, three are likely bets to become leader: Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis and Rob Ashton.

    Do you…not understand how little autonomy you have under Liberals and Conservatives? Not only are their laws actually pretty shitty, but by quietly soft-locking the working class put of having enough money to genuinely participate in the market you also have very little power there, too. There also won’t be much of a place left to hunt for your food after those two are done selling off and exploiting all that land.

    If people do not see how obviously bad the Liberals and Conservatives are, and if they are stupid enough to vote single-issue on the dumbest fucking thing imaginable compared to everything else going on, then there’s no way they’re going to flip parties because of any concessions. Single-issue voters very often use their pet issue as their excuse, not their reason, and will vote away all their rights and power for the love of the game.

    You vote Liberal and Conservative and you get precisely what you deserve. You can vote to turtle up and being afraid of everything, allowing the wealthy to take everything from you and your community, or you can grow a backbone and try to help shift the culture. They don’t give a fuck about you, and the best you can do to work against that is make excuses for them?

    You can’t fight the wildfire that will claim your hunting grounds with a fucking gun, genius.
