Like Jack Layton, he’s a white heterosexual Anglo male with a good pedigree; and like Layton, I think he will win the NDP lots of seats.

We aren’t all that different from the Yanks.

(Here’s to you, wp:Jagmeet Singh: at least the Liberals remain a minority.)

He ran for parliament twice, got 25% of the vote in 2021, and 12% in 2025.

So? He ran in riding that have never voted NDP. He will run eventually and win a seat. No rush though. Jack Layton didn’t have a seat for a year.
