The Hill Times

The federal NDP kicked off its first in-person convention in five years on Friday, but the name on everybody’s lips wasn’t Jagmeet Singh: it was Pierre Poilievre. When the Hamilton Convention Centre doors opened, delegates flooded the floor to the soundtrack of Vancouver-based band Said the Whale’s Camilo as a an animation of party leader Singh riding his bike from Ottawa, to Hamilton, across farmland, mountains, and seaside scapes played on the big screen in a loop.

Angela Keeley, who was recently elected president of the Huron-Bruce, Ont., NDP riding association, said she sees the current political landscape as a bit of a “catch-22” for the NDP. “It’s like, okay, the Liberals are not my favourite.

Keeley, for whom this is her first NDP convention, said she voted Liberal in 2015 because of the threat of another term of Harper’s Conservatives.
