    In a way, as a Canadian, I’m glad for Trump for two reasons. One, we hated him so much that the conservative candidate in our federal election lost what should have been the easiest conservative win of my lifetime because he threw in support behind trump. And two, we are finally diversifying our economy away from that volatile ass country.

      gotta say i agree, and while I realize Carney is just another 2008 conservative, at the very least he is competent.

      that being said, do you think we are headed for an orange official opp considering PP’s dwindling popularity and Lewis’ growing popularity (considering the orange who kept their seats were partcularly progressive)?

        I doubt the people are ready for another orange wave, at least until Avi Lewis gets the local activist networks going again. On that note I encourage people to actually join the NDP and help get things rolling. Membership is very affordable (depends on region, was <$20 for me) and they will put every dollar and minute you’re willing to give to use.
