@fa-beauchemin.bsky.social and I were in the press gallery till the late hours of the night breaking down what the candidates had to offer at the first the @ndp.ca leadership debate of the campaign.
“If the unions and their members don’t believe we can win, don’t believe we can deliver on the promises they’re making or the ideas that we have, they will vote strategically,” said @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social, advocating for electoral reform.

“I know how to win. I know how to beat Conservatives," said @heathermcpherson.bsky.social, the only NDP MP running for the leadership. "I am eager to take the lessons that I have learned winning the strongest seat in the NDP and use those lessons across the country.”

@rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social on Prime Minister Mark Carney:
“We can see how Carney is running the country right now. I wouldn’t even classify him as a ‘small c’ Conservative, that guy’s a bigger C than Mulroney was.”

@avilewis.ca message to Prime Minister Mark Carney: "This pipeline will not be built, not in BC, not here in Quebec, not anytwhere. It is not going to happen."
"This is the sellout of the century."

"The student movement is left out of all of this," said @votetanille.bsky.social on the role of students in the party's future. "We have to leverage out students that are active and passionate that want to do this work with us."
In reference to the lessons learned from the provincial @ndp.ca.
@votetanille.bsky.social calls for free postsecondary education at the #Montreal @ndp.ca leadership debate.
"We have to have free postsecondary education," said Johnston. "Students can't go into postsecondary education and graduate with a mountain of debt and then try to survive."
#freeeducation
Before the debate @aidanjraynor.bsky.social spoke with Gabe Jean of the Jeunes néodémocrates du Québec about what the @ndp.ca needs to do to attract young people and make their pitch to Quebecers.

Canada’s changing immigration policies are leaving international students in limbo and campuses short on funding. Quebec’s layer of immigration complicates that story further for international students.
