I am torn between Avi, Rob, and Tanille.

In a perfect world I would want Tanille's policies, Rob's honest communications and clear knowledge about leftist theory, and Avi's public speaking skills.

Please consider how each would benefit #NDP and Canada when voting March 27-29, 2026 in Winnipeg, MB.

Tony is the clear NDP veteran. He knows his stuff and mirrors calls for UBI, worker rights, climate. Tony did also want others to focus on supporting Tanille before himself to ensure she gets enough funds to run, which is inspiring.
He did however have longer pauses in speech and sharing his ideas.

Tanille surprised me in the best of ways. Some of the best ideas focused on UBI, indigenous progress, and for free higher education. I am sad I have not heard about her sooner. I believe She has some great ideas and is an advocate for those in need.
I would be very happy to see Tanille as leader!

Rob was the most real of the bunch when it comes to no BS talk. You can tell he is a real working class guy and not just a talker. He spoke of material conditions, the means of production. Genuine leftist concerns.
He just needs more public speaking practice to reduce pauses in speech.

Heather is the NDP seat holder since 2019 and is the most centrist of the candidates. Seemly a moderates delight in policy & praxis. She was the most quiet in the debate and had a focus on unity, home building, and homelessness.
The message Heather gave was not unlike her candidate competitors.

Avi I personally have been following for half a decade. He has history of activism, climate crisis mitigation, wealth tax on the ultra wealthy, against inequality capitalism naturally produces.
The strongest speaker among the 5 with the best ability to interject positive change. No UBI talk sadly.

Candidates to possibly change this are;
- Avi Lewis
- Heather McPherson
- Rob Ashton
- Tanille Johnson
- Tony McQuail

Not all candidates are fluent in French but all have a unique perspective to help all Canadians.

No one candidate was overtly aggressive or a contrarian to the idea of change.

Going into this I had high expectations for a NDP turnaround and a shift to go left, where NDP have been chasing the Overton Window for some time.

With respect, we are in need of a literal left wing party with literal left wing policies. Something the NDP struggles within at the local exec level.

Hey @jonadaskin.com

Wow that guy in your video is ridiculous. I met a few odd folks like him a couple weeks ago at the ledge.

Also a fair amount of disrespect to the Canadian flag, lots of American flags and MAGA hats.
Likely the same crowd as the right wing convoy.

Dragging the Canadian flag on the ground and hanging it upside down is not good optics for any group trying to be serious. CK would be proud of his followers.

It's now common knowledge the shooter is suspected to be far-right republican named Tyler Robinson.

How will the party of intolerance answer the call to end gun violence, when the call is coming from within the house?

Will this infighting escalate to fighting the innocent in the name of freedom?

And for those still intent to take away from dog owners and dog lovers green spaces.

Are you aware there will be tax dollars spent to build a new road, maintain it, and the pollution that is generated to develop concrete slabs?

Meanwhile, this space if preserved combats the ongoing climate crisis.

Some have already argued what this land once was used for. I remind those it is not about then but now, what it is now and used for now.

Some argue they want a space to walk without unleashed dogs saying hi to them. That's fine, go to one of many existing parks not designated specifically for dogs.

This is not a political issue but purely a logistical problem.

There is no economic, social, or logical rational to take away land from people and pets for cars.
Especially since roads already surround this area allowing anyone to access this park right now. Another road won't improve green space.
