The Tyee: Who’s best to lead the NDP?
January 3, 2022
By Bill Tieleman
Toronto MP Peggy Nash is the third “top-tier” candidate vying to lead the party and has the background to compete with both Mulcair and Topp.
Nash comes out of the labour movement as a long-time Canadian Auto Workers activist who started as a booking agent for a Canadian airline and rose to became the union’s senior negotiator — and in 2005, the first woman to lead bargaining with the auto industry in North America.
Nash is not only tough — she is someone who doesn’t give up.
