I think people, including myself, need to relax a bit :) They're all fine New Democrats running for leader. And come March 25, we should all be supportive, as New Democrats, of the party and the new leader. Building a strong caucus and party isn't just the responsibility of the leader but of every single one of us.Would you really support Dewar if he won this race? I sure as hell won't.
Even though I think he'd be a disaster in Quebec due to his language ability, yes... I support the NDP, not one person at the top. It would be the rank and file of the party making that decision and we should respect that.
I really don't respect Brian Topp's abilities as a politician. I don't even think he's that likable. And I really don't think that Brian Topp the leadership candidate is the real Brian Topp in terms of policy. I think he's running to the left which is the opposite of his career including an advisor to Jack. But I'd still support his leadership.
Thankfully, in that case, I have an awesome local MP in Megan Leslie :)
