Pretty damn disappointing Carla. It's one thing to cut ties with someone who's been Leader for a while and is unwilling to work with you on issues. It's a whole other level to cut ties within minutes of that person becoming leader. This looks bad.

From the Saskatchewan NDP to the newly elected Avi Lewis

"The positions you have taken when it comes to Natural resource development are ideological and unrealistic ... I will meet with you (When you publicly reverse your position on these issues)"

[Christo Aivalis 🌹🍊 @christoaivalis]

My take: Doing it like this, within an hour of him getting elected, makes Beck and Nenshi look like childish sore losers who were never gonna give Avi a fair shake.

It's also bad strategy: waiting a few weeks would have made them look more 'reasonable' and would have gotten a separate news cycle

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

The NDP family is bursting with talent. 

Tanille, Tony, Rob, Heather — each of your incredible campaigns have made our movement so much stronger. Let's get to work and rebuild this party together.

[Jeremy Appel @JeremyAppel1025]

Nenshi is going to run an identical campaign to Notley in 2023 and then blame Lewis when he loses.

[NDP @NDP]

The results are in! Congratulations to @avilewis, Leader of Canada's NDP.

After an exciting leadership race, we're fired up and ready for the important work ahead!

[Cameron Oehler 🏳️‍🌈 @Cameron_Oehler]

If you are going to condemn the new leadership of the federal party before they even begin, that reflects extremely poorly on yourself. What a disgrace.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader.

It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta.

Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party.

We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day.

Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation.

Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.

Avi Lewis on moving away from fossil fuels: “No one ever bombed a factory full of sunlight, JP. No one’s ever gone to war over the wind.”

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

JP: We heard from former NDP leader Tom Mulcair. He said that you know you should be in the House to take on the Liberals if you want to be a viable opposition leader

Avi Lewis: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say that I have no intention of taking advice from Thomas Mulcair

[Heather McPherson @HMcPhersonNDP]

Parliament has been prorogued till March.

And while I won’t be in Ottawa, I will continue to push for the progressive policies Canadians deserve, using every tool I have as a Member of Parliament.

Some of my thoughts on the Regina election. Also I'm going to be posting more on Bluesky as I begin to phase out Xwitter. Feel free to follow me at https://t.co/uuEBwsPKQI

BREAKING: CTV News has declared that Chad Bachynski will be Regina's new mayor, defeating incumbent Sandra Masters and nine other candidates.

[Alexander Quon @AlexanderQuon]

76 per cent of polling stations are reporting. Chad Bachynski is pulling ahead. Now more than 3,000 votes ahead of the second place candidate.

What an absolute disgrace that PP is manufacturing outrage and using Remembrance Day to push his own political agenda, denigrating our history and the brave military members who sacrificed for it.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

What an absolute disgrace that so many woke activists & authorities used Remembrance Day to push their divisive and radical causes, denigrating our history and the brave military members who sacrificed for it.

We are a proud country with a proud history, and everyone who lives here should be grateful to call Canada home.

[Paul Dechene @PaulDechene]

Lee Harding is running for Public School Board in Regina. He is also a current contributor to the Western Standard. The Western Standard has been publishing articles attacking other school board candidates. That's awfully fortuitous for Harding!

Sask Party Wins
Trump Wins
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with Mayor Dancing Bob

[SaskCate 🇨🇦 @CateSask]

It's notable how calls for "meaningful conversations" with those against Trans/LGBTQ rights often come the day right before those rights are rolled back, as seen in Alberta, yesterday. This is why people are angry and exhausted. Let them be.

[Liezel 🌈🟧🗳️🟧 @pilgrimfarms]

@steve_boots @PaulDechene As a rural, I’ve been thinking about this for 2 days now. We went door knocking. We need to have longer conversations and somehow do something about all the misinformation (NDP closing hospitals trope- saw your video loved your take)
We will need 3 years of engaging. Not 6 weeks.

Here's the "spicy grandma" clip from Joan Pratchler that may be the quote of last night's Saskatchewan election.
