The Richardsons tried to lead a great wave of former NDP candidates over to the Green Party only to discover, after the fact, that it was more of a trickle

The Great Battle of New Brunswick, the defining internecine feud of this campaign, soldiered on into another skirmish this week, when the leaders of a mass defection that wasn’t sued their old party for defamation.

The Richardsons are the mother-son political duo behind New Brunswick’s aborted progressive schism. They tried to lead a great wave of former NDP candidates over to the Green Party in early September only to discover, after the fact, that what they had was more of a trickle. Nothing in the statement of claim has been proven in court. None of the named parties has yet filed a statement of defence. But in an email, attributed to the NDP’s national director, Melissa Bruno, the party wrote: “The claim has no merit. We look forward to dealing with this through the legal system, so we won’t comment further.”

But it was an interview that Jonathan Richardson, a former Atlantic organizer for the NDP, gave right after the press conference that led to the real trouble. Speaking to The Canadian Press, Richardson asserted that Singh’s ethnicity and appearance were an issue for the party in New Brunswick. “That was probably a major, a reason that they felt people wouldn’t want to vote for them because that would hold them back,” Richardson told CP.

Singh says abolishing the Senate would see Canadians better representedNDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says following through on his party's long-standing pledge to abolish the Senate would give Canadians better representation. He's throwing out something this major in the last week of the campaign? Let me guess, he has zero plan for making it happen ... Provinces and territories sending representatives to the Senate would mean Canadians from outside Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal are better represented. Each province & territory should decide on if their representatives are elected or appointed. Equal seat distribution would = better representation. Not this lopsided bullshit we have now
