Yes!! I'm so tired of it. I need ideas. They nourish me.

And I don't mean 'plaster us with ads'.
I mean grassroots recruitment.
Get into the communities. Have casual meetings.
Get a feel for the people and their needs.
And don't friggen preach.

#NLNDP has a real opportunity to recruit and educate their willing candidates for the next election.
The PC won the popular vote by less than 1%.
Since the PCs say the Liberals are horrible, if the PCs also fail (which in the eyes of the Liberals, they will) then the NDP can be a true alternative.

3am thoughts of the election results.
I'd be happy to be wrong, but my gut is saying that we've gone from a 2 year campaign of the Liberals are evil to 4 or 5 years of "our hands are tied because the Liberals are evil".
Please add your own items to the list of promises to be checked on:
