The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) is hosting a worker-first forum with official NDP leadership candidates. The forum will bring together Avi Lewis, Heather McPherson, Rob Ashton, Tanille Johnston, and Tony McQuail for a series of moderated discussions focused on their vision and leadership approach for Canada’s NDP.
The audio is low for the host’s introduction, but gets better when the candidates are on the stage.
I finally got around to watching this, and it’s roughly what I expected: talented, passionate people wanting to do right by the world, being let down by the utter ineptitude of the people running the event (what the fuck was up with the sound???)
No matter how good the conversations were, this video never should have been permitted release. It makes these NDP look thoroughly amateur. A budget YouTuber has better presentation than this. If they can’t figure out how to showcase their ideas with the amount of polish befitting some rando on Tiktok, why should anyone lend them their vote?
Yeah, it was a bit rough to get through, but I managed to get the information I needed about the candidates. I don’t think you can really blame the NDP for how it ended up. The event was run by the CLC.
The next leadership event is a debate on November 27, though it’s going to be in majority French. https://www.ndp.ca/news/canadas-ndp-announces-date-first-leadership-debate
Oh I missed this. Time to watch!
After watching most of it, I think for now I’m between Rob and Avi.
