I welcome Mr. Singh as the NDP leader. Finally, we will have both opposition parties led by credible individuals with the ability to hold the Liberals to account. To date, JT and his team have had it easy. Even so they have bungled myriad files, rowed back on promises and prioritised form over substance. In the last regard they have played to their leader's strengths. But now with Scheer and Singh in the House (the latter not for a while I suppose) JT will be forced to reckon with a rejuvenated opposition the likes of which he has not seen since being elected. Good luck, Mr. Singh. I will not be voting for you but I will be cheering for you. 

PS Am I right in thinking that the author of this article kicked it off with a tautology in the first sentence when he referred to "old anachronistic traditions"? V poor if so.
