The federal NDP still owes us the provincial NDP money. We will never see it. They have used the Jack Layton building previously to secure a loan, then we wondered and no one would tell us how that extra debt magically got paid. So are they that heavily in debt and how can they survive? The way Singh was on side with conservatives last election we were suspicious that the conservatives paid for it. Nothing made sense. Singh lost a lot of us, he’s no leader and my opinion as others he’s just taking away from the democratic side and cheerleading for the fascist con regime which would give them a win? 🤷♀️ all I know is if Pierre gets in we are royally screwed as a country. Personally I wish the federal NDP sat out the next election. I don’t want us to live under a snake like Pierre. I can’t deal with that dictator, I can’t stand living in Sask with this SaskParty regime of complete arrogance. It would be suicide under Pierre, I was a strong person until SaskParty literally broke me financially and mentally
One thing that has been bothering me of late, is Singh's use of disinformation, particularly in the area of jurisdiction. In Ontario, Singh keeps hammering the federal govt about preventing the privatization of our health care. Yes, there are penalties under the Canada Health Act, but Ford keeps whittling away with loopholes. The way I see it, Trudeau would meet court challenges from the provinces were he to do anything bold.
In the meantime, NDP supporters are slamming Trudeau, saying he's fine with what Ford is doing. They're getting that impression from Singh. He knows Trudeau's hands are somewhat tied but he's ignoring that and egging his supporters on with this fantasy. I think that is dangerous, especially in this age of disinformation.
The best solution, in theory, would be to move to proportional representation. In addition to all the other benefits, PR would ensure that the Cons never get a majority of seats again. Of course, the Liberals would never get a majority either, and would have to continue to depend on the support of a (presumably-strengthened) NDP. Would Singh make that a condition for continued NDP support, and how would the Libs react? (When I say Singh, I mean the NDP establishment - aren't they the ones who are actually calling the shots?)

I'm not sure what you mean by your I don't like Singh because he's not as stupid as he appears.
Thanks for this commentary, Evan.
