Can't expect the mercenary to keep towing the company line when he's no longer a part of the company, amirite?

He's now a pundit and no longer wears the NDP mask.
He was always economically and fiscally to the Right of Trudeau
Kenney was never a calming force. He was going to rile up the ultraright of the wild rose and use them as a bludgeon
With low donor money. I doubt the NDP could afford a leadership race and an election in one year. Singh is going to be on the ticket.
From this poll it looks like Singh is gonna roast his competition in the byelection.
Probably best to ignore the journalists and columnists which have been endlessly concern trolling with speculation that Singh is going to lose, not run in the next election, be stabbed in the back etc etc etc.

I want Singh to win in Barnaby
haha the People's Party gets 8%, that 8% that the Cons wish they had
The People's Party is polling at 8.7% in this riding? That is surprisingly high and must worry the CPC if this becomes a national trend.
The People's Party candidate, Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, is at ~20% of decided/leaning Mandarin speaking voters but sub 5% of English speaking. It's a riding with lots of new Canadians and a lot of them are conservative.

That's not necessarily means you can't win though. As the previous provincial elections showed mood swings and protest voting can be more powerful than your ad campaign and debate performance.
From a purely financial perspective, if Singh cannot bring the donations in then I don't see why sticking with him is going to help much either. I feel his ship has sailed. With many of their big MPs announcing quite in advance they wouldn't be running in the next election it was implying they wouldn't even trust him to save their seat.
Asians always have this weird "us first" thing I guess.
But then again, I suppose that happens with all ethnic groups to some extent.

This is a huge boon to Adam Pankratz. He was the low profile no name pylon the Liberal Party had in place for the 2015 election when this riding was known to be an NDP stronghold, but after he did unexpectedly well obviously there was going to be more competition for the nomination and he didn't get it. The Liberal Party still has time to dump this candidate and get another and I'm guessing one of the easier choices in such short notice would be Pankratz.
I feel like white people have some pretty sharp skills when it comes to "us first".
Fucking clown show from the Liberal candidate in any case.
Go Jagmeet, go Jagmeet, go!
Yeah, certainly. I think there's a certain, more understandable sort of solidarity amongst individual minority groups (or even just among white ethnic groups, e.g., Italians) in these situations; if she'd left it at encouraging Chinese-Canadians to rally behind her and put one of their own in office, I think that'd be fine, but identifying her opponent as an Indian in out-group language is...not good.
I still don't think any bozo eruption can ever top that Conservative candidate who was caught peeing in somebody's cup while visiting their house, though.
Beig southeast asian myself, it seems to be normal to "speak what you think" even if it it's cringe worthy. feel like i've heard it all. The stuff my mom says...
In other news. Jagmeet Singh gives an interview on Canadaland's Oppo podcast.

Excellent news,
Liberals at the point should just let Singh walk to 1st Base.
Wang was super stupid though, thinking that she is only talking to her people that nobody would notice. This is 2019, you can't get away with this sort of stuff, LOL
It's great she did the right thing.
Expected this outcome from the LPC and its leadership
As pointed out "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian."
I hope they find and run with another candidate.

Of course there will be some Chinese people who think the Liberal party is racist and end up voting Conservative.

So the Liberal Party of Canada was OK with taking on a candidate that even the Conservative Party of Canada rejected?!
This just furthers my disgust whenever I have to hold my nose and vote Liberal in order to keep the Conservatives out, like I did in the last election!

I want the Rhino party to come back so I can waste my vote on a joke party and not one of the Communist parties at least. :p
Do you know why she was rejected by the CPC?!?!? It doesn't specify in the article!
Might as well run as the People's Party candidate at that point! lol
The NDP was okay with making Mulcair leader after being rejected by the Conservatives

Liberals and Conservatives go back and forth all the time. One of the Liberal MPs for Richmond is an ex-Reform party member. Wang previously ran for the BC LIberals, which is a big tent coalition of Fed Conservatives and Fed Liberals. Lib Tory, same old story. How is this any surprise to anyone at this point?
It's almost as if Canada is generally populated and governed by interchangeable moderates making measured, steady progress.
It also bears reminding that the AB NDP would be liberal red anywhere else in the country but they're smart enough to play to the room, so the left isn't above shapeshifting to look appealing to an electorate.
This discussion also reminds me how obnoxious it is that the same party names are used at the federal and provincial level.

We are all the Rhinoceros Party.
Also your vote matters and so do you.
If both parties are the same, what's the difference. ;)
I suppose I should be happy with "less evil" or at least "more marketable evil", but it's hard to feel proud of choosing the least worst option. It's like how Macron is supposed to be some European hero when he just happens to be not overtly racist like the person he ran against. lol
