NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh suffered a resounding defeat on election night, losing his own seat, his party reduced to a single-digit seat count.
I’m sorry, wasn’t aware.
I usually post CBC, but they break metadata embedding on Lemmy.
Here friend! Some of the Non Canadian owned new outlets and the Canadian owned when reading getting your information.

Globe & Mail and Toronto Star are currently, Canadian owned, but can be acquired (by foreign interest).
P.s. none of the Canadian owned news outlets in the infographic can be acquired.
What makes those two different from the rest? Why can they be acquired?
Any for-profit organization (e.g. Globe & Mail and Toronto Star) can be acquired simply by buying shares. We’ve seen this with the Hudson Bay, for example.
The featured media outlets in the infographic are either government owned, or non-profit. You can’t acquire the government, and a non-profit structure doesn’t have shareholders.
Makes sense, thanks!

first past the post will kill you as easily as it killed Estats Unis
Estats Unis
États-Unis, my dude.
i think they wrote it in catalan, not french
was the point made?
yes, sorry for deviating
i agree wholeheartedly, fptp is a relic that should be disposed of, but we shouldn’t forget that trump won the popular vote the second time (it’s crazy we even have to distinguish between a popular vote and the actual results), so switching to a fully proportional system is just one step of many to take, i feel
with less than 31 per cent of the vote…keep your targets aligned…
i’m not disagreeing, just amplifying, i hope…
this is what you argue about?
Finally.
I feel sad for the guy because he really did care and worked hard. He was a good dude.
He had his time and he did delivered some good things, but it’s defintely time for new ideas and more charismatic leaders. He was the most unpopular leader in this election cycle.
I agree generally agree with you but charisma is so subjective. A lot of people think that trump is charismatic but to me he isn’t t all. Many think Carney is not charismatic but he is to me.
trump had branding before he became president, so that pretty much helped him.
Jagmeet was plenty charismatic; and earnest, too. But while I worried about his focus, really he bounced off a glass ceiling; and then found slagging an ally in campaign ads was detrimental to both. (and let’s talk about how uncharacteristic THAT was)
But he presented well as someone with decent motivations, and his causes were generally on the side of regular Canadians, as you’d expect from the oranges. He had his best party and just misstepped while puppet-mastering Justin.
Yeah but he destroyed the NDP party
How so?
You saw election results
That doesn’t explain your opinion at all.
It’s clear he hasn’t resonated with voters since the start and he kept going until the party lost party status
Ok that’s more like it. And I agree with you. He was a nice guy, but we needed someone more feisty, more aggressive, at the head of the NDP.
While I agree that change is necessary, I feel like NDP as a whole needs to change strategy. It’s like every single promise they make is about throwing shade on another party, or saying they will fix something liberals did, but rarely any actual constructive or original ideas. They need to come up with their own identity instead of basing it on the opposite of another.

My mom’s getting some dental work, thanks to his original idea.
They need to come up with their own identity
They HAVE an identity: small-biz heroes, middle-class champions, lift-all-boats tide. This has been their identity for decades.

You confusing the orange with the blue?
I mostly agree with agenda of the NDP and also with Singh but I also noticed that he started bashing the liberals more than usual in the last couple of month. I live in Manitoba and hear often official ads from the Conservative party in radio about things they blame on Trudeau. In my opinion this needs to stop, this is not professional.
I agree that bashing other parties is useless but everybody does it. For weird reason the critisism only is given to NPD.
There is no such thing as original ideas in politics. Every ideas was proposed in other elections over the world.
I like Singh but the results speaks for itself. There is no chance of NPD growing under him despite him doing a great job in my opinion. I am glad that he thought about people before the party and himself
I think he’ll have a great legacy in hindsight. The important policy accomplishments of the NDP while he was leader will hopefully last for generations.
For comparison, what policy accomplishments have the official opposition had in the last ten years, and what accomplishments will they have under a Carney government? The CPC has more than 10× the number of seats the NDP does now, but as a party they have had a lost decade in terms of policy impact whereas the NDP has scored big wins.
The NDP will hopefully have a comeback next election. I would guess they will.
Thanks for finally doing the right thing, Jagmeet! It only took your complete and utter defeat and losing official party status… but I guess it’s better late than never. (Please elect a socialist leader now.)
I loved him, but he tossed Jessica Wetz under the bus and the next day, he was posting thirst traps on TikTok.
While I was not a huge fan of Jagmeet, I don’t think he was a bad leader. The Federal NDP had a tough go at this election as I am sure many people who would traditionally vote NDP voted to keep conservatives out of power and marked the Red Box. I certainly did.
They were losing popularity before the elections were called though. The losses are because of the circle around the flag effect, but their unpopularity is not.
I don’t disagree. They missed a huge opportunity to be the opposition people turned to in this instance when people didn’t want either of the big two.
Taking bets on how long universal healthcare lasts now that Liberals can wave “It’s us or fascism/annexation” forever.
What makes you think the liberals want to end universal health care?
Yeah, someone’s confusing the parties goals here
Lol
It’s right in the name.
Good bye Jagmeet. Even though I never liked you as leader of NDP, your policies were a welcome change in an atrophied left ecosystem. Thank you.
Is this guy the one who said people are stupid?
