Message from /u/Rob-Ashton-NDP:

Hi r/CanadaPolitics,

I’m Rob Ashton— a longshore worker, president of ILWU Canada, and a candidate for leader of the federal NDP. I’ve spent decades on the docks and in the labour movement, and I’m running because I believe the NDP should stand firmly for working people.

This Sunday, January 11 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET, I’ll be answering your questions here, along with my campaign team.

Ask me anything about my vision for the NDP, how we can rebuild the party from the ground up, and why I’m running— from labour and housing to climate and affordability, I want to have a real conversation with you.

This is your weekly Friday thread!

No Canadian politics! Rule 2 still applies so be kind to one another! Otherwise feel free to discuss whatever you wish. Enjoy!
