Hamish Telford doesn’t envy whoever is elected next leader of the federal NDP.
The University of Fraser Valley political scientist is likely not the only one who feels for the next person to head the flagging left-wing party.
The two front-running candidates, Telford said, are “idealistic” former journalist Avi Lewis, who is based in Metro Vancouver, and “pragmatic” Edmonton MP Heather McPherson. Montreal activist Yves Engler and Rob Ashton, a Vancouver union leader, are also throwing in their hats.
The NDP hate the working class, in particular the white working class. They will not win them back. (Incognito)
