Obviously poor form and unfortunate, especially as he would be the best candidate if the NDP was looking into turning over a new leaf and going back to its labour roots.

The reddit AMA if curious. One of the biggest tells are the long hyphens that chatgpt inexplicably loves to use and using bullet points on an AMA.

Honestly, looking outside the AMA, he's been using it for other responses as well.
It is not a good look on Ashton. What is the point of trying to have an "Ask Me Anything" and then turn it into a "Ask AI Anything"? I do not think it disqualifies him from consideration but it does make you wonder if he is the right guy for the job if this is the kind of thing he is doing while applying for the job.

At the same time Ashton is scoring on his own goal, McPherson is getting an endorsement from Charlie Angus:


I could see this becoming more of a 2 horse race going into the final stretch.

Note: if anyone wants to participate in the vote (or have the option to participate) they need to join the Federal NDP by January 28.
