This is fantastic news for Trudeau.

I wonder what this means for the Tory leadership race. Will this be good for the Progressives in the party or the Reformers?
This could also lead to a split between provincial wings of the NDP and the federal party. I had no idea until this convention that the provincial wings have to follow the federal party's initiatives, etc. A lot of what is in that manifesto is a complete nonstarter in AB. If the radical left takes over the party federally I would expect the AB NDP to split from them in short order. Rachel's been getting a lot better lately at dealing with reality so there's no way she'll put up with this crap if she serious about having more than one term in power.
