The NDP Québec (provincial party) is holding meetings in Quebec City and Montreal this weekend to see who could be local leaders and familiiarize future volunteers with provincial electoral laws.

It is a registered party with 300 members. They say if they decide to be an active party they will be ready in time for the 2018 election.

Is it expected that they will 'go active'? If so, how much support could they realistically get, given that they are down so much from their 2011 high?

If they do, probably no more than our Tories.

How well known is Pierre Ducasse in Quebec? It's really weird that he has been out of the spotlight over the last 5 years.

Brad Test goes all SJW and said Leitch's Muslim-baiting makes him feel discriminated against:

He wanted to get the nomination in Manicouagan in the last federal election but withdrew a couple of weeks after his announcement. He would have challenged a sitting MP.

He announced in late September 2014 (for the October 2015 election) and the riding nomination was called for early November so that gave him about a week to sell memberships to people who would be eligible to vote at the nomination meeting. He asked for the date to be in January but it was maintained and he withdrew.

He didn't seem to be aware of the nomination date. I don't know if the date was chosen before he made his announcement or the nomination meeting scheduled in a hurry fater he made his announcement so he didn't have time to organize his campaign to protevt the MP. That was one year before the election.

A provincial NDPQ might run candidates in the next election just to start building for the future. Parties get public financing according to their total vote share, so if they get a minimal source of income it can help to survive until the next election.

He was forced out by the provincial leadership of his party.

Chretien, Harper, Dion and Ambrose will attend Peres' funeral.

Butts is arguing with journos on Twitter that Monsef stories have racial motivations.

Grit MP was loose-lipped about the Supreme Court shortlist.


CETA still up in the air.

When I saw that his name was trending, I thought he had entered the Conservative leadership race. As unlikely as that is...

RIP.

Funny how life is. A couple different decisions, and he could very well be Premier of Alberta, not on that plane, and a Tory leadership front runner.

Wells on the proposed Canada Infrastructure Bank. In Grit tradition, will require yuge FDI as fuel.

Globe on Justin's 1st year.

Alberta: PCs lead Wildrose 38/25 and 2/3 of Albertans support a united Right.

Justin continues edging away from electoral reform.

Only saw this just now, but wow, RIP Jim Prentice. He had a very sad last few years of what should've been a very promising career.

Here in Quebec, Grit MNA Gerry Sklavounos was expelled from caucus after being accused of sexual assault.

Wells: Justin should be careful about walking away from major promises.

Forum-ON: 43/24/23, 49% of Ontarians want a new OLP leader by 2018. Wynne's disapproval at 77%. Now I'm really curious about an Ottawa-Vanier poll.
