Two of the four remaining candidates (Hoffman and Calahoo-Stonehouse) weren’t actually interested in winning the next election. And Ganley simply isn’t a compelling enough leader for us to believe she could do what Notley couldn’t. So there was really only one choice if the NDP is actually interested in governing and not permanent opposition.
It was a more difficult article to write than I thought. Notley’s comments threw a wrench into looking back on the week, and this supposition that Hoffman should have been rewarded with the leadership because of her work ethic/party longevity. It put an odd damper on my enthusiasm.
