No idea if this is the guy to take back our country and give us a government for the people again, and I'm too jaded and angry to be a trustworthy judge of character anymore. But his slogan sounds good, not that it means anything since these fuckers can use money to psychologically hack our brains to make anything sound good without any intention of ever acting on it. Still, it would be hard to be a worse choice than the current set of assholes, so I'll wish him luck until I find somebody better to support.

Same. Waiting to hear more from all candidates.
When threatened by the far-right, left-wing voters chose the "real" liberal party. The NDP cannot out-liberal the Liberals. That's not a viable electoral strategy, and more importantly, it abandons the party's reason for existing.
We are fundamentally different. We don't just want better capitalism; we want to transcend it. We don't seek to manage the liberal order; we seek to challenge and supplant it.
**Liberals: **Manage capitalism, accept possessive individualism, practice austerity while preaching compassion Conservatives: Embrace capitalism fully, celebrate possessive individualism, openly serve corporate interests NDP: Challenge capitalism, reject possessive individualism, build cooperative commonwealth Voters would understand the choice. Those who want transformative change have a home. Those comfortable with capitalism can choose accordingly.
What I expect from our new leader.
