March 22, 2012 - Jennifer McCreath Endorses Niki Ashton for NDP Leadership

Well, for what it's worth, (probably not a heck of a lot, but you never know), I have decided on who I think should be the next leader of the NDP Party of Canada, and who I feel can lead the NDP to a majority Government victory in the 2015 Federal Election.

 I am voting for Niki Ashton!

All 7 leadership candidates have an amazing diverse resume of work experience both in and out of politics.  Since we are voting on March 23, I have made a list of 23 reasons why I am voting for Niki.
In no particular order:


- Her vision for Canada
- Her vision for the NDP party
- Her proposed strategy on how to revolutionize politics
- Her proposed strategy on how to lead change
- Her balance between familiarity with big cities, while living in a small town in a rural setting



- Her balance of experience and youthfulness
- Her ability to reach out to youth and make them take an interest in voting, and voting NDP
- Her knowledge and experience on Human Rights
- Her knowledge of LGBTT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual) issues
- Her specific knowledge about the difference between LGB and T, and her knowledge of T issues


- Her education (politics, global economy)
- Her poise and assertiveness when speaking
- The fact that she speaks four languages fluently, including french
- Her experience with volunteer and non-profit work
- I think Canada is ready to elect a woman Prime Minister and she's got what it takes
- I think Canada is ready to elect a young Prime Minister and she's got what it takes




- Her demonstrated ability to understand and push for issues that affect her constituents
- She recognizes and understands the issues close to the heart of NDPers
- As leader, I feel she will restore public confidence in government and the governance system
- As leader, I feel she will revitalize politics and connect with all demographics


- I think she is the candidate who I can best relate to
- I think she is the candidate who could best relate to me
- and well, she's kinda cute!
