Montreal activist Yves Engler officially looking to enter NDP leadership race
Yves Engler aims to nationalize key sectors and halt oilsands development, raising $90,000 for his campaign ahead of the NDP leadership debate.
- On Nov. 10, 2025, Montreal-based activist Yves Engler applied to enter the NDP leadership race months after announcing a bid, The Canadian Press reported from Ottawa.
- Engler says he wanted to show support before formal vetting and argues the three-person vetting committee has a history of 'anti-democratic' behaviour, urging NDP membership to decide eligibility.
- Engler says his campaign has raised $90,000 and is monitoring rules with Elections Canada, while NDP chief electoral officer Éric Hébert-Daly says donations cannot be accepted until formal entry and must go through the party.
- If approved, Engler will become the sixth candidate and seeks vetting in time for the Nov. 27 debate, with current candidates including Lewis and McPherson.
- Running as an `agitator,` Yves Engler proposes nationalizing energy, banks and telecommunications, halting oilsands development, and says showing support motivated his Monday entry.
