    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)?

      No. Not from what I’ve seen anyway. Last poll I saw the NDP was sitting at like 8 percent federally. Idk hopefully I’m wrong.

      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.

          Personally I wouldn’t bet on the next election. Grassroots power takes a lot longer to build, but it’s much more resilient in the long run. If you’re joining the NDP get ready to play the long game.
