Too Too Funny 

Methinks it ain't too hard to figure out why the devious unionized Fake Left/Fake News CBC wackos blocked so many comments as this little circus unfolded its tent in New Brunswick today N'esy Pas?

New Brunswick NDP to choose new interim leader

Party holding virtual meeting to vote on temporary replacement

 The NDP in New Brunswick is currently without a leader (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)

The New Brunswick NDP elected a new interim leader Sunday afternoon, but the position was vacated within an hour.

The party elected communications director Nathan Davis.

But Davis, citing a family emergency, stepped down shortly after the party's virtual meeting ended.

Mackenzie Thomason was the interim leader since March 2019.

He resigned to take over as the party's executive director, which sparked the need for another interim leader.

Thomason was surprised to hear that Davis had resigned, but said he supports his decision.

"The family emergency has put him in a different predicament, a different spot, and he is not able to go forward," he said Sunday evening.

Davis defeated Don Paulin for the job Sunday afternoon. Paulin ran for the NDP as Don Durant in the September election.

The interim leadership position will remain vacant until the party can hold another vote.

Thomason doesn't know when that will happen, but said it could be next month.

The party has been without a permanent leader since Jennifer McKenzie stepped down after the 2018 provincial election.

Thomason led the party through the 2020 snap election, where it failed to win any seats for a fifth consecutive election. 

He planned to serve as interim leader for just four months. But he remained after the only leadership candidate was disqualified, and then the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

The NDP won just 1.7 per cent of the vote, down from five per cent in 2018. It was the party's worst showing in 50 years.

It did not run a full slate of candidates in the September election. Several ridings in francophone New Brunswick did not have NDP candidates.

It plans to select a permanent leader before the next scheduled provincial election.

Hasn't covid 19 pretty well put an end to parties?

 

 

David Amos

Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Methinks the PC sheople believe the virus made their party bigger and better. Heres hoping the 5 disenchanted members Higgy booted from cabinet decide to sit as independents this week. That would change the scene in the circus Higgy oversees and perhaps cause the rest of his party to wonder if they need a new ring leader as well N'esy Pas?

"The New Brunswick NDP elected a new interim leader Sunday afternoon, but the position was vacated within an hour." - Is this some sort of new record for shortest-held leadership position? Should we be calling Guinness?

I miss Jack Layton. I don't think the NDP has been the same since he passed. I was younger when he was a politician, so I didn't pay a great deal of attention to him at the time, but I will always remember how much people - from all political sides - thought so highly of him. He seemed so uniting and refreshing to politics. My friends all had crushes on him in high school. I think if he were still alive, he would have done many great things. I think he may have been PM even, but we'll never know.

They need to lose the map on their signs. We already know we're in NB (as I assume they do). Grand Manan and Campobello are missing.

Keep MacKensie Thomason, if he wants the job. At least he appears more upbeat and connected, than the staid Higgs and long gone Vickers. Remember, we are a province of gereatrics at the moment, so things will change.

Reply to @murphy ron: Tut Tut Tut You should show some respect for your elders. I know for fact the paperboy with the funny tie never did.

Reply to @murphy ron: He doesn't. He resigned as interim leader in order to become executive director.

 

 

David Amos

Reply to @SarahRose Werner: Methinks the paperboy ain't dumb No doubt being the executive director pays better than being merely a leader and he has already proven he can do both jobs at the same time N'esy Pas?

Good luck. We will get back to you when we need someone we know and love to undertake the looting of the treasury. We are much more comfortable when it is done by predatory foreign corporations.

The NDPs core values are now reflected amongst other parties, so I doubt they'll make a comeback anytime soon unless they can somehow differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. And with the loss of support for their party, it'll take decades to get their base back up and running, if that were to happen.

Reply to @Marc Bourque: Absolutely. A party who is incoherent of real problems and a national leader who chose to form a coalition with Trudeau, not good politics. Would it cross the floor if asked? Absolutely, the party is broke and nowhere to go.
