With Charlie Angus leaving, I'm curious if North Eastern Ontario will stay NDP. I hear a lot of people support the conservative party.
Who will replace him?
I really can't understand how Jagmeet has been allowed to lead for so long with the results he's had and Charlie didn't even get a shot.
And then there's this. How do NDP members defended him barely beating Niki Ashton.

It's really, really hard to say. Charlie Angus' riding and the other NDP-held riding up here have been redrawn by the last redistricting. The other current NDP MP in the area, Carol Hughes, is also not running for re-election. Both of them have held their posts for quite a long time, so there may be enough lingering pro-NDP sentiment in the far north to get their successors elected.
Most of the other ridings are currently Liberal-held, with at least one of those incumbents not running for re-election either. I have no idea what direction anything's going to jump in. It may come down to who the candidates are, as much as anything about the parties.
I hear a lot of pro-CPC in the area too. I think there may actually be a shift.
