I really can’t understand how Jagmeet has been allowed to lead for so long with the results he’s had and Charlie didn’t even get a shot.
And then there’s this. How do NDP members defended him barely beating Niki Ashton.
And yet, in the end, the result was not even close. Angus — with 19 per cent of the vote — not only finished more than 30 points behind Singh, he barely beat Niki Ashton (17 per cent) for second place.
With Charlie Angus leaving, I’m curious if North Eastern Ontario will stay NDP.
It’s really, really hard to say. Charlie Angus’ riding and the other NDP-held riding up here have been redrawn by the last redistricting. The other current NDP MP in the area, Carol Hughes, is also not running for re-election. Both of them have held their posts for quite a long time, so there may be enough lingering pro-NDP sentiment in the far north to get their successors elected.
Most of the other ridings are currently Liberal-held, with at least one of those incumbents not running for re-election either. I have no idea what direction anything’s going to jump in. It may come down to who the candidates are, as much as anything about the parties.
I’m in the region and myself and everyone I know have gotten text spam from the CPC last week and for the past month or so our local news has been heavy with editorials and CPC features pumping themselves up. I don’t think Sudbury has had a proper poll done in any of the past elections other than maybe mayoral, would be interesting if anyone bothers to fund one this round.

With Charlie Angus leaving, I’m curious if North Eastern Ontario will stay NDP. I hear a lot of people support the conservative party.
Who will replace him?

I hear a lot of pro-CPC in the area too. I think there may actually be a shift.
