    Singh just stepped down and hopefully the change will mean more potential for the NDP in the next election.

    I’m Indigenous Canadian and I fully wish that we could have a country and a political environment where we could support and stand by a visible minority to represent a major political party. But I have to temper that with the knowledge that our country is not fully ready for that kind of person. As much as we would like to believe that we could become a more progressive, open and accepting culture, we are still not there and it will be a few more decades or lifetimes before that can become a reality.

    It would be more possible if we actually had an election system that was more representative of our people’s wishes … Proportional Representation would make it more possible to have major political leaders and politicians who represented visible minorities.
