To seize control.But they haven’t done any of that. What used to be Canada’s worker’s party seems like a shell of its former self. Why can’t they reach voters when everything is up in the air?This week Noor sits down with columnist and critic Max Fawcett, and former NDP strategist Mélanie Richer to unpack Singh’s woes.Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Mélanie Richer, Max FawcettBackground reading:The NDP is getting outflanked — again – National ObserverGinny Roth: The NDP don’t take themselves seriously, so why should we? – The HubIs It Time for Singh to Go? – The WalrusIs Jagmeet Singh’s job at risk in the upcoming election? – iPoliticsSingh says NDP still plan to vote to topple Liberals ‘at the earliest opportunity,’ regardless of leader – CTV NewsIf you value this podcast, Support us!
