The NDP leadership race could be turning into a nail-biter with no clear winner in sight. But it's unclear if Canadians are tuning in.

But according to party insiders, three are likely bets to become leader: Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis and Rob Ashton.

Well, we agree on that, basically.

If someone can’t decide between the NDP or the Conservatives

Coincidentally, there was a lot of orange-blue swings in Ontario this last election. Factory workers who vote anti-establishment more than one away or another politically. See also how UAW in the 'states has pulled in behind Trump and his tariffs, despite literally being a cross-border union at one point.

How do you individually live a good life in such a crazy world? I admit, the IRL activism stuff I do still feels like trying to piss out a forest fire.

The working class slinging in behind conservatives is one of the reasons I know we’re so stupid. Conservative just have to put on a cowboy hat and say some lies and these morons go right along with it. Helps they have a lot of mutual racism, sexism, and homophobia, of course.

Living a good life for me is playing music and D&D and shit, it’s separate from the rest. That said, things getting better make mean not having as great a time as we want. I’m in a pretty privileged situation so I don’t want to act like I’m some kind of hero but I’ve also been without a job for almost two years and am still willing to take the risks necessary for the longterm health of the country. Getting better is not often comfortable.
