Singh really shat the bed in the past few months. Attacking the prime minister when we’re under attack from the US? That kind of infighting in the face of adversity is an ugly look. It’s really too bad because Singh made some amazing progress in social democracy and social welfare, he was a tough negotiator and an excellent strategist for years. He picked a bad time to lose the ball. They need a new leader, it’s too bad they’re going to lose a fuck ton of seats to get there.
Attacking the prime minister when we’re under attack from the US?
Do you mean when the vote of no confidence happened? Because I remember that happening before Trump’s term. And either way—and I have to note I’m talking about the principle of the thing here as I don’t know enough about Canadian politics to have an opinion on Singh—one thing you and most other anglophone left-leaning people should realize is that trying to force unity where it doesn’t exist is a recipe for disaster. Of course a time of crisis requires prudence, but sometimes you do have to clean house before you can get anything done. And that aside, Singh has constituents he’s beholden to; he’s not running off game theory either. You might disagree with his remarks (again, I don’t know enough about Canadian politics to have an opinion on this) but I doubt he “shat the bed” just because he was critical of Trudeau.

My NDP candidate is amazing, I hope they win.
