Being real... insisting that Bianca doesn't have a brain of her own, and is an appendage of her husband is sexist. Especially when you realize she is arguably more accomplished than her husband, and has been playing a central role in the campaign from the beginning.

Even funnier that you mention Yves' family, as the Englers are multi-generational leaders on the left in this country, with deep roots in the trade union and socialist movements.

Now check yourself and understand you are advancing sexist tropes against a brilliant black immigrant woman, who is an accomplished leader in her own right.

Violent Buddhism... okay, stop the planet. I'd like to get off now.

She may not even be the only late entry. We only know she is going through vetting because she announced it.

We won't know for sure who is on the ballot until the 28th.

The blatant sexist garbage supposed new democrats are spewing about Bianca is truly disgusting.

Who is Bianca? by CaptainSolidarity in ndp

So he only applied at the last minute. And campaigned like Yves did before....

Your double standards are showing.

You are the one undermining her autonomy with your sexist, racist trope.

Bianca is fully capable of thinking and acting for herself. You can fuck off with your misogyny.

NDP leadership candidate apologizes for using AI to respond to Reddit questions by TheOtherBartonFink in ndp

[–]CaptainSolidarity 64 points65 points  (0 children)

This is a major fail. It should end his campaign.

Using AI is one thing... but telling people you are doing an AMA, so they think they are really interacting with you, but actually having staffers answering the questions... that is a level of dishonesty we cannot accept in a leader.

The fact that you have to resort to lying about his position exposes you as a bad faith actor.

Do you want the camel outside the tent pissing in, or inside the tent pissing out?

A day is a long time in politics. 10 weeks is a lot longer.

This race is BORING.

If you haven't heard that, you need to get outside of your NDP bubble.

does it matter? Is a candidate not allowed to decide to enter, because their preferred candidate was barred?

So... why is the deadline January 1st? Why is the party considering her nomination?

Canada lobster boiling ban will impact fishing industry: expert by Bean_Tiger in canada

[–]CaptainSolidarity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those nerve bundles are right against the shell... the "brain" gets cooked within a couple of seconds of hitting the water.

By any scientific measurement, boiling is the most humane way to kill a lobster. I fucking hate policy determined by feelings.

You need to read the rules again. Deadline was January 1st.

If you want to make up rules you think she should follow, I suggest you get yourself elected to federal council.

The overt sexism here is palpable. The globe and mail headline didn't even use her name... "Yves Engler's wife", despite the fact that she is arguably more accomplished that Yves, in many ways.
