SpankyMcFarland Posted October 30, 2025 Report Posted October 30, 2025 (edited) I’m seeing very little of the NDP leadership candidates on CBC other than Heather McPherson. I must say I like the cut of her jib on the style front. She’s a good speaker with a nice cadence who gets her points across well. Definitely an improvement on Singh. I said I’d like to see a more working class perspective and Rob Ashton has called my bluff. He is all that but falls short on the style front - ponderous and lugubrious, a real Bassett hound. I don’t want to sound superficial, but the NDP doesn’t need another beardy, especially a low energy, bespectacled, baldy beardy who sounds like he’s going to a funeral. Politics is partly about sales and, yes, sex appeal. The only other candidate that I’ve noticed, Avi Lewis, is too far out there on climate policy and free trade.

The NDP leadership is underway — and the party is limiting signatures from 'cis' men https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/the-ndp-leadership-is-underway-and-the-party-is-limiting-signatures-from-cis-men/ar-AA1LJO2y The NDP party prefers to have people in their party who are lesbians, gay or girlie men, trans people, people of non white color, greenies and people who pretty much believe in big brother government communism. The NDP count on old people and emotional white and younger women. And of course the lieberals are not much better and they all are in for the same kind of people to be in their party like the NDP likes to have in their party. The elderly and young white women prefer to be in with the lieberal party because those two live on emotion and lack intelligence. The majority of those two groups of people will always vote either for the lieberals or the NDP. I guess that in order for the conservative party to win the next election, maybe they will have to promise older people that they will receive more money in their OAP. And maybe even do what Trump is doing in America? Say that there will be no more taxes on old age security pension checks. That may help the conservatives to get the older folks vote and those emotionally charged white middle aged lieberal women. It may work. Hey, we never know, eh? 😇 Quote
SpankyMcFarland Posted October 31, 2025 Report Posted October 31, 2025 (edited) In fairness, Rob Ashton is a manly man but a rather dreary one. I suppose really manly men often are grimly dull DIY types sharing wonderful yarns of lathes and adzes they have known. He’s no Jack Layton, that’s for sure. And now I’m contradicting myself when I said they needed a solid union guy. It’s like that monkey’s paw horror story where they got more than they asked for although it’s dreadfully anti-simian to call monkeys’ hands paws, don’t you think? The NDP wouldn’t do that. I’m getting a bit Trumpy in my free association here. Edited October 31, 2025 by SpankyMcFarland Quote ‘How small we make our worlds. Gather them in, tighten them up into little castles of fear.’

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 31, 2025 Report Posted October 31, 2025 My last post on Ashton. The guy needs some style points. There’s such a thing as too authentic. Trim the beard way down, get a new wardrobe, speed up the delivery and put some variety of tone and volume into it. Energize! You’re welcome. Quote ‘How small we make our worlds.

I've certainly had dogs and cats like that too. The ones that got along stand out more. They seem to have more character about them. The sworn enemies seem more comical in a way. Especially the cats.

Maybe a world run by AI wouldn't be so bad after all. The people applying are less relevant than their policies. That’s why I support Pierre. Not because of his amazing personality, but because of logical policies. Canadians need to grow up and act like adults, and start voting based on policy not who they “like” more or who says the kindest, nicest things. We spent 10 years electing a guy who told us that puppies and kittens and rainbows are fantastic, and look where it got us. 1 Quote

So are you a real NDPer, or a liberal supporter posing as an NDPer because you think that it lends your criticism of the NDP more credibility? I know it sounds odd, but we have a diehard LPOC cultist here who claims to be a conservative for that exact reason. And I don't mean a "Jack Layton NDP" supporter, from the brief period when the NDP weren't fully retarded, I mean a "Jagmeet Singh NDP" era supporter.
