Mr. Angus Im sure is a lovely fellow. But his inability to speak the country's second official language should disqualify him to be leader of a national party. Strange that an MP representing a riding with a large francophone population would never have bothered to learn French. In saying that Mr. Angus does not have a basic quality required for a Prime Minister of Canada does not mean that Mr. Angus cannot continue to contribute in other ways. But as leader of a party which needs to hang onto its Quebec base... after the Party Establishment threw out the first Quebec leader of the Party....just not on.  Putting a non french speaker in charge would be the kiss of death for the NDP in Quebec, and thus in Canada.   Bring back Thomas Mulcair.  My vote will go to Mr Mulcair in my heart and mind, and to Mr. Caron as the candidate who can possibly hold onto what remains of the NDP bridgehead in Quebec.
