  • Prefix to my comment:

    Oct 7th was an atrocity deserving of the harshest of backlash. It was in no way justified despite the unfair and frustrating issue of Israeli settlement and the division of Palestine by colonial powers in the 20th century. Israel’s response has been too aggressive in how they’ve fully disregarded humanitarian aid in their undiscerning destruction of Gaza in the year since.

    Now my comment:

    I think it was insensitive and stupid to play this song on a day to remember our troops who gave their lives or continue to fight for Canadian freedom and sovereignty. I don’t think it added to the cause of Gaza, I think it just distracted and created more division.

    Really it was a foolish thing to do.














  • That’s certainly a problem, but in general he does not come across as working class, he comes across as quite wealthy. He also doesn’t get policy into the news often enough, despite some things on their platform sounding good.

    And then he hasn’t done anything to assuage concerns NDP policy will be bad for the economy, which if you look at the US it’s clear the perception of being good for the economy is at the forefront of everyone’s minds (whether or not that’s based in reality).

    I did have someone mention they felt that having a Sikh PM would not be good with escalating tensions with India. That line felt kinda racist to me. I don’t think that’s why he doesn’t connect with voters though.
