Thousands of new democrats descended upon the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on the week-end to elect a new leader. Here are a few moments - in photos. With great thanks to photographer John Maclennan for sharing his wonderful images.  Other photos are are courtesy of rabble staff and volunteers, and columnist Elizabeth Littlejohn.

While I've done some mental flip-flopping on the NDP leadership race (With Peggy and Nathan at the top of my list), I am sticking with my original intention to support Peggy as my first choice. Peggy brings a wealth of knowledge and varied experience. She knows how to listen, negotiate and find solutions. She remains connected to the "movement". She has put proportional representation central to her plans for the next election and beyond. She has run a very positive campaign which reflects on the kind of leadership she will provide and team she will put together. And this will likely be her only leadership run. So if she's "offering", we should take her up on the offer. Go Peggy!

During the NDP leadership race, rabble.ca invited all the leadership candidates to participate in interviews in which rabble readers ask the questions. Nathan Cullen, Brian Topp, Peggy Nash, Paul Dewar and Niki Ashton all agreed to answer your questions in a live interactive Q&A session. Thomas Mulcair declined our invitation and Martin Singh did not respond. As the March 24 convention date rapidly approaches, here’s a reminder of what the NDP candidates had to say to babble, rabble.ca’s online discussion forum.
