Jon Scop @jscop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Still a perpetual outsider after 21 yrs. From that perspective: Lockstep party conformity. Different ideas? Too bad unless you convince a leader. So we have no AOCs, Bernies, Mamdanis. They can deviate from the party line. In Canada? Nope. Case in point: Nathan Cullen's positions as MP v. as MLA. 000
