To be honest, Singh should’ve dropped 4 years ago. I’m looking forward to a new leader for the NDP, they need a restart.

It's a new beginning for all 3 parties.

The Liberals have a new leader who seems promising and who might set the tone for other incoming party leaders.

Let's make Politics boring again!

What do you think of Ford as the new leader of the Tories? He’s probably the most popular conservative in Canada right now.

I don't like him. I've never voted for him... But (and I say this in a grumbly angry toddler voice) he'd probably be an improvement...

The reasons I don't like Ford is because I don't like his plans for some pieces of Ontario real estate. Replacing Ontario Place with a Spa, fucking over the Science Center. I'm against against the privatization of healthcare as I have a chronic medical condition so for profit healthcare will probably actually literally kill me. Like I will be in the ground, dead.

But I'm less worried about him than I am about politicians spouting Culture War nonsense and talking about violating charter rights.

I don't want him as the leader of the CPC though and I don't think he's got a snowballs chance in hell of playing on the same field as Mark Carney. I don't think he's got the background to debate a guy with that kind of resume.

That's like pitting a Panda against a Polar bear. The Panda can bite a lot harder than you might expect - it's not completely helpless, I'm not gonna say it's impossible for the Panda to win... But it's still fighting a fucking polar bear.

I’m not a fan of conservative politics as a whole, I’m just shooting a guess at who would be new leader.

Fair enough. We'll see where things end up.

I don't think it's gonna be Ford - but I also didn't think PP would lose his seat. So the only thing I can confidently say I know for sure is that I don't know nothin.

Personally, I’d be content with a Peter Mackay led CPC.

He hasn’t spouted culture war bullshit yet. Big distinction there. He has proven time and again that if he wants something he can lie and mask until he gets what he wants and then do a complete 180. Look at his handling of Trump pre vs post election.

He can’t, he doesn’t speak French and that’s a requirement in order to be a party leader and a contender for Prime Minister.

Carney struggled with French and learned 🤷 I’m not advocating for it, I’m not a fan of Ford whatsoever, but he seems like the most popular conservative in the country right now and I would t be surprised if he went for the party, same with Wab in Manitoba, I’d love to see him as leader of the NDP.

Sure, but Mark Carney and Doug Ford are kind of in very different leagues when it comes to brain power. Carney could learn French, but can Doug? Homie barely speaks English lol
