Ottawa New Democrats, let’s talk about the next federal election.

And let’s be honest: many are worried. They can see a storm coming. 

They see the rise of misinformation and hatred. They note the growing gap between insiders, billionaires, and the rest of us. They know many are suffering, and too little is being done. 

Still, I have hope. And with this hope I’m seeking the federal nomination for the NDP in Ottawa Centre. 

Why?

Because the people of Ottawa are capable of amazing things. That’s what I have seen time and again as your provincial representative. 

Hurricanes, windstorms, torrential floods, an historic pandemic, and a three week convoy occupation of our downtown. What’s happened to us in the last six years is almost biblical. 

And yet, we always rise up. We come together, support each other, and embrace the kind of collective action needed. Ottawa inspires me, and we can inspire our country. We’ve shown what a community organizing approach can accomplish here.

We don’t have to tune politics out. We don’t have to settle for less. 

We can win this election, support local changemakers, and chart a course of hope. We can speak to Canadians of all backgrounds, in all neighbourhoods, and build on our success in provincial politics. 

Let’s bring that approach to Parliament Hill. 

Joel Harden
