It feels like an eternity since federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair received the boot from delegates at the party convention in April 2016.
The lengthy leadership race hasn’t exactly helped that feeling.
Most candidates launched their campaigns in February. Nine debates were held between March and September. But we’re almost at the end of the tunnel. Voting for the first ballot, via both mail-in ballots and online, commenced on Sept. 18 and concludes on Oct. 1. If needed, second and third ballots will be collected by Oct. 8 and Oct. 15.
While there are only four candidates left in the race — (Read more…) Caron, Jagmeet Singh, Charlie Angus and Niki Ashton — there are an enormous number of combined proposals related to energy, climate and environmental policies (especially compared to what was discussed during the federal Conservative leadership race).
Let’s take a look at what’s on offer from the NDP candidates.
