Sorry Wente but this is just your normal nonsense. It's great that Singh won the leadership and he will indeed put some pressure on Trudeau but he is not Trudeau's "worst nightmare". This is a positive thing that may wake the current Liberals up to remember their long-term commitment to social affairs which has mostly gone on the back burner as they are practicing very Conservative politics. It's also too soon to know how Singh will handle federal politics and where he will position the NDP. It sounds like Singh is pretty left wing in his support for poor and struggling people but Canada has drifted pretty far to the right these last twenty years and it will be interesting to see if the NDP is saleable - even Jack Layton couldn't quite get them over the hump despite trying to position the party as centrist and conniving with Harper to try to wipe out the LPC.
