didnt say he was a saint just trying to rally around one of social democracies better lights.
When he was leader he was on the "right" of the party. Point is that the NDP stopped being a social democratic party years ago. It's more of a left-liberal party with social democratic characteristics,
I'm all in favour of learning the strategic and tactical organizational lessons of the right. But let's learn the real ones.
The right did NOT change the political discourse by nominating candidates outside of the mainstream. Well, they nominated Goldwater and learned that that is a stupid strategy.
They changed the disccourse FIRST.
Bingo.
