Performative Politics Is a Dead End Canada’s New Democratic Party once rallied workers around a bold social democratic vision. The leadership contest now unfolding shows a center left so busy virtue signaling it forgets how to build pow...

It's existential for the NDP to understand that identity politics leads to electoral disaster. Class politics works.

In my humble opinion the Green Party should not be a traditional party. They should look at the field in every riding and award the Green "seal of approval" endorsement to the greenest candidate in the riding. It's leader should be in Ottawa and meet with a 'Green endorsed caucus' quarterly.

Could it be any clearer on rent control?

Ford PCs - no rent control on post 2018 buildings not rent control between tenants.
Crombie Liberals - maybe rent control some time in future none between tenants.
Stiles NDP- rent control on all buildings, no increases between tenants
