This list is devoid of class analysis, which is completely fair TBTH. This capitalist workers' party is 95% market and 5% socialish. Time for serious discussion of running open class-struggle candidates like the Victorian Socialists in Australia. Maybe interview one of their organizers?

Honestly difficult to tell how serious this list is when Ruth Ellen Brosseau is on it.

Charlie Angus could be a very interesting choice. Not sure about Plante, it seems to be mostly rumours from the right so far, no?

Definitely not just from the right. Last year, a member of the NDP caucus told me Plante might run.

As for Brosseau, she was the face of the Orange Wave. I don’t think she’ll win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she ran.

Interesting re: Plante, had no idea it went that far back!

We shall see about Brosseau, I'll bring the popcorn.
