As Prime Minister Mark Carney announces he’s pausing yet another cornerstone environmental policy laid out by his predecessor Justin Trudeau, Industry Minister Melanie Joly won’t say whether the federal government will maintain its 2030 and 2035 emissions reduction targets.
It’s also our chance because we can affect who the new leader would be.
Good point. I’ve never been a member of a political party but I might join the NDP this year to vote on the leader. You just made me remember that one of the drivers, in my opinion, of the big Liberal comeback was media coverage of new memberships.
If the NDP gets a swath of new memberships it could go a long way to showing Canadians that the NDP could have a real chance.
Yup and you don’t have to limit yourself. If there’s an important leadership election, register and vote. Then cancel your membership if you don’t suport that party in general. Many of us voted in the LPC leadership election but we’re not “LPC voters.” And we’re now gonna vote in the NDP one. I really hope we can get the party in a competitive state for the next election because while Carney is not PP, he’s so far going down the Kier Starmer road and if he continues, the next election could be CPC vs NDP.
