It would be interesting to see Bob Marley played by a blonde, as he was in fact half Caucasian. Maybe a blonde lesbian woman. Or Barack Obama played by Brad Pitt, because after all Mr. Obama's mother was white. Gandhi was played in the movie by Ben Kingsley, who's dad was of Indian descent but his mother was British. Now it would have to be Denzel Washington, perhaps, or maybe a black woman like Halle Berry to be even more politically correct but incorrect.

Speaking as someone who has both black and white family heritage, I am sick to death of race grifters of all kinds, and I especially deplore historical revisionists like the BBC. Just be accurate for fuck's sake.

The woke left with its DEI is toxic and unacceptable.

How the Federal NDP can make serious electoral gains and possibly form government in the near future in #canada

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically faced challenges in securing a federal election victory in Canada. To enhance its prospects, the NDP could consider the following strategies, informed by recent data, political analyses, and insights from political scientists:

1. Ideological Moderation and Modernization:

The NDP’s shift towards a more centrist platform under leaders like Jack Layton contributed to its electoral success in 2011, where it became the Official Opposition. This transition involved adopting pragmatic policies and modernizing campaign strategies to appeal to a broader electorate. 

2. Strengthening Riding Associations:

Robust local organizations are crucial for effective grassroots mobilization. Research indicates that the strength of NDP riding associations has been variable, impacting electoral outcomes. Investing in building and maintaining active local associations can enhance voter outreach and engagement. 

3. Capitalizing on Liberal Vulnerabilities:

Recent polls suggest declining support for the Liberal Party, with the NDP surpassing the Liberals outside of Quebec. The NDP can position itself as a viable alternative by highlighting policy differences and presenting clear solutions to current issues, such as economic concerns and healthcare. 

4. Addressing Economic and Social Issues:

Voters are increasingly concerned about economic stability, healthcare, and affordability. The NDP can craft policies that directly address these issues, emphasizing social programs and economic reforms that resonate with middle and working-class Canadians.

5. Leveraging Polling Data:

Continuous analysis of polling data can help the NDP identify shifting voter sentiments and emerging issues. Resources like 338Canada provide statistical models of electoral projections, offering insights into regional dynamics and potential swing ridings. 

6. Enhancing Digital Campaigning:

Modern political campaigns require a strong digital presence. The NDP can invest in digital marketing strategies, social media engagement, and data analytics to reach a wider audience, particularly younger voters who are active online.

7. Building Coalitions and Strategic Agreements:

While the NDP previously supported the Liberal minority government through a supply-and-confidence agreement, reassessing such alliances can provide opportunities to influence policy and demonstrate leadership. However, the NDP should also be prepared to assert its independence when beneficial. 

8. Learning from Provincial Successes:

Analyzing successful NDP strategies at the provincial level, such as those employed by former Manitoba Premier Gary Doer, can offer valuable lessons. Emphasizing practical, voter-friendly policies and effective communication were key components of these successes. 

By implementing these strategies, the NDP can enhance its appeal to a broader segment of the Canadian electorate, improving its chances in future federal elections and quite possibly winning in the near future!
