if the ndp want to regain the interest of canadian workers, here's a pro-tip: don't elect an upper class lawyer with a turban and a ridiculous beard.

there were lots of things going on. it's not that simple. but, it's not insignificant. jagmeet singh was tolerated by the workers, until he wasn't.

it's up to the ndp to choose what it wants to be. does it want to be this make believe vehicle for workers? then it needs to listen to them, and let them choose a leader that represents them. does it want to continue the real vehicle of the ndp, the mission of the ccf, and be a religious party, the conscience of the nation? does it want to be a vehicle for an upper class elite of the highly educated?

i would rather vote for naomi klein than avi lewis, and i think naomi klein can win a seat and avi lewis can't. but i also realize that would crush his soul, and she won't do it, until he consents. pressure needs to be put on him to get him to step aside.
