Hopefully we'll get an alternative voice to PP who can talk to young Canadians when the NDP leadership election is done. One that would offer them believable material improvements.

Fingers crossed. But I'm not holding my breath.

Skepticism is super warranted. Skepticism of the mind, optimism of the will!

Its not just about what they offer but getting their voice out there as well. Much as i hate it, they'll have to make short form content like tiktoks or shorts to reach that demographic. Some podcast appearances could help as well.

Jagmeet also had a tik tok presence.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

The presence is necessary but not sufficient.

I'm hoping for Ashton, I think him being a worker will bring some actual legitimacy to a labour party. Unfortunately we'll probably get Lewis who seems about the same as Singh.

I voted Rob first, Avi second. I think while Avi looks Singh-like at first glance, is very different ideologically and when examined in detail or listened to. But if he's elected leader, he must convince you of that himself.

PPs bad plans, like "tying immigration to housing" whatever that means.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If that were the only thing PP planned, me and my friends would not have spent money on defeating him. More like privatizing the CBC which would put all TV media under corporate ownership. And we know what effects on democracy that has.

Ya I felt like Pierre around 2021, when we were doing mass immigration into a housing crisis and the media turned a blind eye. I'm pretty pessimistic on most Canadian media, Vassy excluded.
