My first choice is Stephen Lewis. However, since he hasn't entered the race yet, so Nash will be first on my ballot. I liked Saganash, and think he'd be a great deputy leader with Nash as leader - their strengths would balance well.
I feel like Dewar is unqualified for the role based on his level of French. Not finding him especially compelling anyway.
Singh is a joke candidate, so whatever. I gather that he may have a stronger showing than people expect due to organizing in the South Asian communities in the 905 and Lower Mainland.
I like Ashton, but she's really not there yet in terms of leadership potential.
Topp seems like a good choice, and will likely be my number 2.
Mulcair creeps me out, so yeah.
Cullen is probably the candidate I'm the most conflicted on. I was quite impressed by him in the debates I've watched, but I really don't like his plan to share candidates with the Liberals and Greens. The whole 'unite the left' movement bugs me because it works on the premise that the Liberals are on the left at all (or the Greens for that matter, but they're really only relevant in one riding and I like Elizabeth May being there).
