Letters: The NDP 'Gong Show' Back to video

The description of last weekend’s NDP leadership convention is reminiscent of the “Gong Show.” Now that Avi Lewis has been elected leader, I would strongly recommend that he gather up the last few remaining members of the federal NDP and decamp from Canada to Gaza or Syria, where they will feel more comfortable and at home with like-minded people.

No wonder the perception that Canada is small potatoes on the world stage continues to hound us. Canadians must take the concept of Canada far more seriously. The selection process for candidates in all Canadian political parties has many glaring defects. It is really alarming that the criteria to become a candidate is so weak.
