ANGUS: Reflections from a Democratic Hoser

What will it take for the left to rebuild a movement rooted in ordinary Canadians?

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - May 31, 2026

EXCERPT: "I wish the new leader, Avi Lewis, well in the task before him. He faces the same challenge every Social Democrat leader before him faced: building trust with ordinary Canadians so that they see the NDP as a viable alternative.

Some of his supporters have told me of their determination to clear house and establish a new vision. Perhaps it will work. But I am doubtful that a new Orange Wave will emerge simply from bolder language and a new team at the helm.

My advice to the new leader is to be a builder of bridges. There is a lot of goodwill and ideas out there. . . . ."
