@… will be the new leader of the Federal NDP!!
I am so proud of @… coming in 3rd!! Hooray Tanille!! 🎉 🎉
As it was a first ballot victory for Lewis with 56% of the vote we will never know how folks ranked the rest of the field, but for Tanille to have come in third in that first vote ahead of the “union” candidate Rob Ashton really speaks to the work she put in. Well done my friend!!
I would have loved to see her come in 2nd but McPherson was a very strong candidate and showed it with 29.5% of the vote.
I am very very happy that a true leftist candidate has been victorious! We must try as Canadians something different.
Tanille and Avi and Tony were that difference and 64% of the voting NDP members have declared that a strong socialist movement is what they want the NDP to try to counter the Liberals and Conservatism. This is the correct decision! This is the hard path, but the one that can bear the most fruit for the party and all Canadians.
I hope all candidates and all members of the NDP can move forward now as one unstoppable force and show Canadians a real alternative to the regressive Conservatism, Austerity, and Hopelessness of the Liberal and Conservative status quo.
We need policies for all people, for all workers.
We need to rebalance our economy to favour citizens over corporations and working people over billionaires.
We need a government that will be bold enough to present a the real alternatives to oil and gas and instil the confidence in those provinces like Alberta and BC that there is a future in other industries that can start immediately and lead to prosperity and security.
But most of all, we need humanity, strength, and dignity to face down the threats against Canada. We can do this together and I believe Avi and all of these candidates will be able to make it happen if we give them the chance!
