After many years as a staunch fence-sitter/political neutral, I voted in two previous political leadership races. The first was the 2020 Green leadership race. I was excited to support a candidate, and was then horrified to find out he was a Russian propagandist claiming to be a ‘anti-imperialist’. You can figure out who that is on your own lol. Have fun :)
The second leadership race I participated in was the BC NDP race that pitted David Eby against Anjali Appadurai.
She was treated horribly, and I would say with fear, by the BC NDP leadership. She could have been a sea change in real social progressive leadership in BC and Canada but was pushed out.
She's working for Avi Lewis’ campaign.

Imagine in what kind of "great atmosphere" the negotiations between the US and Iran will take place. The US attacked during earlier negotiations, killed several levels of Iranian leadership, their family etc... Two weeks will not be enough to accomplish anything meaningful I think 🤔 without even mentioning the fact that there is disagreement about how Lebanon is part of the current ceasefire. Trump's idea about quickly reaching a deal is pure fiction.
